Watching the telemetry on the video raised a question. One parameter shown was speed. Speed relative to what? Air speed doesn't make sense at 100km, where there basically isn't any air. Ground speed doesn't make sense early in the flight when the vehicle is moving normal to the ground, not parallel to it. What are they measuring to come up with speed is it simply the rate change in distance from the launch?
