Four guys sat in a tent all day recording continuously to a hard drive. Once the flight was over, they stopped the recording. The drive is a temporary storage buffer, so no unanticipated anomalies would escape recording. =)
Here is a video compilation of the Clotho research launch, and the slo-mo footage from this camera.
Only 2 of the 3 booster motors lit on the first flight, and so she arced over from the thrust asymmetry to her doom… Staging and parachute deployment do not work when going 1000 MPH horizontally overhead….
Only loosely related, I also posted a short night launch video medley of the antics that night…
