I don't think they've got a lot of ships laying around for testing purposes. I think the leave the warhead out for safety and to save the ship for more testing. But it do agree, somewhat anti-climactic at the end!!!

Yes, if it can suck the gas out of it!

You think there is going to be any Hydrazine left after re-entry?
