Epic Rocket – Pad Cam – Steve Jurvetson

Ignition!

Looking straight up from the video compilation (HD). It’s lucky that this is the one motor of four that was late to come up to pressure….otherwise, the pad cam might have been fried.

Some more launches below, all from the same camera.

We were going to have a drag race, but batteries foiled that plan. Here is Erik’s long burn carbon fiber rocket…. Moment of ignition, from the video

Gives new meaning to buzzing the tower….

It sounds like the pad-cam is in a perilous position.
