Updates

Sn2 was redesigned as a  small test tank  After SN1 experienced a  RUD while cryo testing. Tis would be a stripped down bare bones tank to test the Thrust Puck welding attached to the  lower bulkhead with water and then cryo pressure.  Both went well with the Cryo testing lasting 12 hours on March 8th-March 9th 2020 from start to finish. More will come as we see what will become of the tested tank
