Matt preps his Big Daddy. |
It lifts off on a D12-3. |

One of the few that landed close to the launch area. |

Ken, with an orange Mean Green |
A "G" powered rocket blasts off. |

The USS Constantine Hering lifts off
the pad. |
Andrea was out looking for the Courier
again, when the Hering landed near her. |

If we hadn't been looking for Joe's

Time to launch the two stage "D" powered
Yellow Jacket. |
Blasting off on a D12-0. |
|
|
Stage separation at about 100 feet
altitude. |
Then... BAM! Core sample! How do ya like DEM apples? |

This is GOOD for the rocket! |
The impact tore the camera right off the
rocket. |

with a utility that repairs .avi files.
Here are two screen caps from the movie. |
