| Rocket Launching from the ground perspective |
 |
 |
| SCAT leaving the launch rail (Just after i pressed the button!), i had the honour of launching it. I had a rather chunky controller in my hand and had to turn a key before holding down two RED buttons together at the end of the fourth countdown... and there it goes. |

| SCAT on its way up, burning fuel rapidly as it goes |
| SCAT high above heading into the sky |
| SCAT's parachute deploys at apogee as it should, but the black powder blows part of the airframe off causing the high velocity air to rip off the weakened structure departing the parachute section and the nose cone from the rest of the rocket. Ironically, the nose cone which has Steve's face drawn on lands safely somewhere in a farmers field under a deployed parachute, the rocket however goes ballistic and buries itself in the ground. |
