Actually, I’m just trying to get to a safe place after arming the video camera and flight computer.

Just got back from a great day of rocket launches at Snow Ranch. Lots of photos and video too. The video camera survived a long-burn launch on a K185 motor… More to come once I download everything off the video cams and flight computers…

    Reminds me of the rabbit scene in one of the earlier Guy Richie films…. where turkish and tommy bet on the dog (dag) and the gypsies bet on the rabbit that the gypsy boxer will do another fight.
    Great capture.
