Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

The article below should be of particular interest to some members. Having lawn darted my L3, and now having experience with this concept, I found the article of particular interest.

An article in GizMag at the link below talks of taking rockets, placing instruments in them, and having them lawn dart on purpose for core samples.

The first pictures show someones large Nike Smoke doing the sampling. With the area in the background it could even be Blackrock for the Nike.

It was Black Rock for the video. IN this case, they fired the rocket into the ground. Impact was under power.
