My mistake, you can watch, but you have to join to launch a rocket.

FWIW, they are recommending spectators arrive no earlier than 10am. Please follow the signs and stay out of the fields. Spectator parking will be marked.

Launch and recovery looked successful. One 28' chute for the top section, and four 28' chutes for the booster section. Only three of the four deployed. The rocket landed sitting straight up so it didn't hit that hard.

I just got back from there as well...FRIGGIN' COOL!! I've Got to get me one of those...$ to Will Smith.
I took 212 shots off my Canon. Once I figure out what to do and how to do it, I'll post.
In gymnastics, they talk about "Sticking" a landing. Mr Eves stuck this one!
Sorry for the tease, I'm hot, dirty and thirsty right now...

OK...here you go...
Shot from my Canon with the 70-200L F2.8. Crop factor brings the effective zoom to 320mm. Shot with Manual Focus cause I didn't want to slow down the burst mode.
As I said, he "Stuck the Landing"!!

Nope, not yet anyways! I was parked across from us. I think as many pics were taken of the Ural as of the rocket.
I was looking at it early, thinking it was a beautiful 50's or 60's vintage bike. The speedo gave it away when I took a closer look. Classy, classy, classy...
Only $13K too:

I just saw this on Fox News, they had video of the launch and an short interview with the builder. Very cool. If I had known about this before hand I would have been there, I love this kind of stuff.
