From my first Mach 2 flight this summer.

Some of the GPS readings streaming from the rocket locked up during the supersonic reentry. But once it slowed to apogee, it showed a nice peak at 33,701 ft.

    Has the feel of a contemporary painting mashing up with conceptual land art.

    Great video.
    You seem intent on this "just in time" parachute thing…!

    Can you post the KML? I’d love to pull it in to Google Earth…

    Todd – I emailed you them. I wonder if you can edit out spurious points to smooth the curve?

    Pieces of Eye – drop me an email at SteveJ@Boxbe.com and I’ll send to you too.
