    Launching means just getting off the ground, right?

    That says nothing about whether or not it will actually make it to space, nevermind around the moon and back.

    If it goes kaboom 30 seconds after lift-off it technically launched, though.

    There was some commentary during ascent about passing points where they could demonstrate various components / systems, such as: even if we abort now we can still (possibly) demonstrate the re-entry heat shield with sufficient velocity to equate to a moon-return.
