That was WAY funny... The "keep watching" text had me cracking up even before the model reappeared! Thank God that was captured on video!

Now that is hilarious

I don't think you could pull that one off again even if you were trying. Priceless.

Wow, that is a dangerous flight.

Well, seems like you won the "shortest walk for recovery" award.

Wow, that is a dangerous flight.

Everyone was about 80' away and the rocket never got closer than 70' to us, so we weren't too worried.

However, my father never stops talking about this one:
