The launch is still ongoing, but I think I’m done for the day. Two flights on my Luna Bug, one as a single-stager:

And the other as a two-stager.

I recovered the sustainer OK, but I came up empty for the booster for quite a while. I did eventually find it….in a garbage tin, since it appeared to have suffered a CATO despite staging successfully. Date code is B180619.
I can’t say I’ve ever seen that before.
