    Dizzying but fantastic video. On a flight this high, does the parachute deploy at apogee or at a lower altitude to aid in recovery?? Just seems that at that altitude the rocket could be carried by wind for many miles.

    @daveh56 Think he means facebook Dave.

    Yeah, and it was clear skies out to the Pacific, giving an unusual peek at the sea

    @Steve Jurvetson No it asks to sign in. I’m one of the few to not have a FB account. It’s evil. lol
