Summary

[edit]
Description

The motor vendor gave me a heads up that this would be a reflex photo opp.

The Vmax propellant has been prone to CATO in this M4770 configuration, and he thought he might have a fix.

In a flash, it was back to a yard sale in the sky, like a layout of the parts ready for assembly on a blue screen of death.

Seems like a good image to start with, as only the Google team, my man Jim Green (with his homebrew propellants), and my son (with his 4-motor cluster video rocket) avoided disaster. I was not so lucky, nor was the astrobiology mission.

UPDATE: I have a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD7ciM4EeuA" rel="noreferrer nofollow">video of this launch</a>, and it's amazing how quickly it goes. A "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" as they say...
