Welcome to BALLS.

The first flight of the day was a large two-stage rocket, staging from an O to an Oh-no!

It went into an undulating wave overhead – like a roller coaster across the sky. Unfortunately, as the weight shifted from the propellant burn, it found stability pointing down, and drilled the unlit upper stage into the playa.

    i hope this is not yours.

  2. yup… a ballistic lawn dart…

    Here’s one second of the dance overhead, as I tracked with the camera:
