Possible last flight of this legendary rocket. Beautiful boost to apogee with drogue deployment at the top. The main parachute was set to deploy at 700 feet but did not deploy. It appears as though the payload bay separated at both the nosecone and at the e-bay leaving the parachute tucked neatly inside the bay. The rocket hit hard and could be repaired, but it might just be time to hang this one from the ceiling.
