Summary

[edit]
Description

I'd like to say that I focused on the beauty of the plume and blasted alfalfa as a planned composition, but my 9 ft. tall rocket leapt off the pad so quickly on this M2245 Imax motor that I could barely keep it in frame. (best viewed <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/10558143764/sizes/k">large</a>) 

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/2962849389">WIRED</a> described it as “a black rocket 7 1/2 feet long that looks like a scaled-down cross between a '60s-vintage X-15 rocket plane and a surface-to-air missile." Nice.  I have since extended it to 9 ft. by adding a video camera bay.
There are a series of photos below, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x73PUV0rMyM&hd=1" rel="noreferrer nofollow">here is the video</a> from one of the cameras on rocket (the other camera is lost in the field, having been tossed from the airframe at 7,700 ft.)
