Summary

[edit]
Description

Derek’s amazing rocket shot to 121,000 ft. at 2181 MPH and returned safely just 16,000 ft. from the launch pad.

The trick to such a close recovery is use a smaller chute and plan for a rough landing (she peaked at 613 MPH on the return to Earth).

In this case, the only complication was a tight coupler that got a bit wedged at an angle. Nothing the Suburban can’t handle… =)
