OUTCOME + OUR CALL
Official outcome: Launch successful
RocketScan only read this launch after T-0, so there is no pre-flight call to score.
Scoring rule: a launch that reached flight means the countdown proceeded, so a GO or HOLDING call is right and a SCRUB call is a false alarm. Only the last call made before T-0 counts.
ANALYST READ
