For both launches (Neutron / New Glenn), we'll use a standard of clearing the pad, full success / orbit not required.

@EvanDaniel So for Starship refuelling would an aborted docking before planned refuel count as an adequate refuelling attempt?

If not, does a docking with planned prop flow but for some reason prop flow doesn't start?

or some other requirement for the minimum that has to be attempted/completed?
