  1. Did you manage to get the casing back ok?

  2. Well, you didn’t have to look to hard to find it. Hope it didn’t start a ground fire when it finally hit…

  3. Yup, this failure mode does not get too far from the pad, so it came down close to us, and we had wet ground and short cow-grazed grasses.

    Rocketguy: It’s not my rocket; I was just the photographer here, but yes, the casing looks OK, minus the forward closure.
