Its gone very quiet on this front recently. Did they find the issue and take
steps to be sure it never happened again?

They have solved the helium tank strut issue by switching manufacturers
(the original strut failed because it did not meet the spec) and they
will perform acceptance testing on every strut they receive.

They have also used the stand-down to perform a "deep dive" into the
engineering of Falcon 9 in an attempt to find other areas which need
improvement.

This is not unlike what happened after the Challenger disaster inside
NASA and at all of the shuttle contractors. Not only did the problem
with the SRB field joint get solved, but there were *several* other
issues which were brought to light and improved, all of which could have
led to loss of the orbiter and crew.

The next Falcon 9 flight will be the "full thrust" version, with
improved performance. This was always "in the pipeline" and just so
happened that now is the time for it to fly. So, this next flight will
not only be a "return to flight", but will also be the first ever flight
of the "full thrust" version.

The next flight will be a nail-biter for sure.

than advanced airbreathing engines, and so are the tanks to put it in
and the extra thrust to carry it." - Henry Spencer
