Farewell, Skelenaut. We barely knew ye.
After a majestic liftoff and, um, cruise phase, Skelenaut went down in a blaze of glory due to the J135's ejection charge touch hole becoming clogged with grease during motor burn. A few photos commemorating his life (afterlife?) are attached.
Will there be a Skelenaut III? Time will tell. I’ve already had one person offer to buy a K motor for the next one.
