Next milestone will be dragon to transition to figure for terminal count this time terminal count will be on internal power no longer relying on the lines from three ground. Frand there, the falcon 9 propellant tanks will pressurize for strong back retrack that will be another visual milestone the clamps just below the dragons pressurized trunk will open and the strong back will tilt back two degrees and right off liftoff back to 45 degrees.
