The dream crashed nose down into the playa.

This rocket did not pop the nose cone, and so it came down ballistic, with a high pitch whistle (just like in the movies).

It was surreal to see it scream over my head and drill into the plaza about 40 ft. away.

  1. !!!!! dangerous games

  2. Brad Morse at DarbsWorld posted the video, and the sound track is INSANE. It really captures the moment. Video Link (175MB, some adult language during all the excitement). Compressed PC version for IE, at 1.3MB

    At the end, and near the beginning of the video, you’ll see me (in light blue) and my flikr buddy, Erik Charlton, standing at the middle of the arc….

  3. I finally got the video online… The sound is the best part…
