  • That's insane how fast the speed climbs when that booster kicks in and I can only imagine what the g forces were.
  • @NewJerseyJay
    Could be one single tree in that entire field, and the rocket will always find it.. Awesome Video!
  • @mr.yuk4858
    That acceleration is incredible. No human would be able to stand the G force.
  • @camward9293
    It literally found the only trees in all of Kansas and then landed in them.
  • @jamesaddison81
    It’s super interesting how it rotates one way on launch then as it’s breaks the sound barrier it starts to spin the other way.
  • @greenskyrocket
    Launch from on top of Mt Everest and get a 29,000 ft elevation head start. No trees around there either. Awesome video, congratulations

    Metric conversions: Final altitude: 8698.66m Maximum speed: 572.9m/s Seems a lot of the deceleration was due to atmospheric drag.

    I know about trees. When I was a kid I flew homemade balsa gliders and would often find the only branch in the only tree around.
  • That first pop was a sonic boom.
