12 Hours “Bottle to Throttle”

I know that a rocket doesn’t have a throttle in a purely technical sense, but neither do turbine engines, so there.

It’s nice to see that NASA is finally catching up to the FAA. Am I the only one who is shocked that this wasn’t already a rule, at least for critical phases of flight like launch and re-entry/landing?
