2. Wooof!  Incredible to look at the guy photographing in the lower right of the field for a sense of the scale of the thing.....

   When I was a kid in the 70s I had the Estes Saturn5 powered by 2 ‘C’ motors.  Every once in a while only one of the engines would ignite and when it came off the launch rail it would turn 90 degrees and head off across the field about 5 feet off the ground like a cruise missile.

   Just cant imagine launching anything as big as what he built!

4. Impressive but I wouldn’t want to stand as close as some of those people in the clip. If it had gone wrong they would be toast. Makes you wonder how much liability insurance they have to pay.
