A good amateur video, with sound, of the launch & crash:

…make sure and watch until the end.
Well there’s the problem!!! It looks EXACTLY like our flight but we had less flame! I would say this admonishes any wrong doing on the flight crew. We followed a poor Russian design…
I wash my hands of any wrong doing at this point! 😳
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
