Erik recovers his giant saucer by the old oak tree, after a wild and wooly flight that misled the Launch Control Officer to announce over the PA system that the motor had CATO’d midair.

But this Unbelievable Flying Object actually performed exactly as designed, funky as she is.

Launch sequence below, and a video compilation of this launch and our attempted drag race.
