You can see, and hear, this one launch with a N2000 motor now that I have posted a short video on Revver. It was a perfect launch at XPRS in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada… the only place in the country with a 100K ft. launch waiver from the FAA.

  3. Sol1: hmmm…. It is a habitual gesture of a strange love…

    a strange love

    as for the launch, yes it did come back…. with a BIG parachute…. deployed by the on-board computer at just the right altitude on the way back down….

    Not every launch goes so well… it helps quicken the pulse….
