   Because standard experimental practice is to only change one variable so   
   you can compare the results of two tests.  In this case, they've made   
   changes which impact the final landing burn.  So, they're keeping   
   everything else the same.  Once they stick the landing, then they'll   
   expand the rest of the flight envelope.
