OR said 'Stable'.

I named one Q-47B Space Modulator, and of course it exploded on the pad, a D12.
It destroyed the rocket over halfway up the length. And then burned to the ground.
Marvin the martian was up next, so I had to listen to an hour of Marvin, lol.

when you see a Lawn Dart headed at you.

It's amazing what you can do with a carbon fiber sandwich. How many of you remember this toy!

Oh, I remember it well. And every time someone talks about building or launching one of these I think "No, that's not a Jart!"

Plan B.

At ROCstock, a guy had a rocket named "Warning no chute" or something along the lines of that. At apogee, nothing happened and it flat spun for a while. At about 1k it popped the main.

I also seem to recall one called “Safer @ Home”. It certainly lived up to that name
