That's so bad ass!

r00tchick and I just watched this on the 58" plasma with home theater sound.

Seems I had the volume up a tad high.

My dog was asleep in a chair and she about shit herself when that rocket went off

I figured you, of all people, Kev, would appreciate the sheer "Why the hell not?" of this.

Plus, you know, the basically controlled esspolosion that shot that thing off.  [evil]

The video from the Flip is my favorite. Just watching as the rocket approaches, comes even with, and then leaves the clouds behind.

I wonder if they notified the FAA (14 CFR 101.25) and any control towers nearby?  Pretty amazing stuff!
