Good luck with your typedefs:

template<typename Range>
double mean(const Range& range)
{
  double sum = 0.0; int count = 0;
  for(auto& v : range) {
    sum += v;
    ++count;
  }
  return sum/count;
}

The other amazing thing about all this is that it's pure experimentation. There's no risk, aside from costs, if something goes wrong with this experiment. [...]

Well, not entirely. First: they add extra fuel for the braking burn (or reduce amount of fuel available for ascent). Second: the legs will change the aerodynamic, and maybe other characteristics of the fuselage.

They did a braking burn before, so I assume 1. is already tested, but I wouldn't say that there is no risk.

And that's why it's so exiting!
