The view from a camera near the control bunker and two onboard cameras. Masten Space Systems XA-0.1B-750 rocket, aka Xombie, flies to over 1000 feet before coming down and landing almost exactly where it took off from. The rocket flies completely autonomously, using differential GPS and a six-axis inertial measurement unit. We click go on a laptop, and it flies itself. Runs on isopropyl alcohol and liquid oxygen, about as forgiving as you can get in rocket propellants. You could stick your hand in either.
