The working end
Coming back by chute
The kids loved it, as the booster came back gently behind the flight line
The son summarizes: "nose cone separates at 200mph pointing straight downwards, vortices keep parachute inside nose cone causing high velocity core sample. ebay coupler is damaged but easily repairable. charge damage hole also easily repairable.
booster aiframe (S1-C) is undamaged. nose cone is damaged beyond repair upwards of the S-IVB. entire nose cone is repairable. so the question remains: should i repair it as skylab or apollo?"
We were next door, behind the orange cone.Junk in the trunk… packing some serious heat

Steve, a great rocket captured beautifully. The shot with all five motors burning tops your picture gracing the cover of the current Sport Rocketry (the sparky is a great shot as well.)
