On December 9 2009, shiver me timbers, Ken, matey, Joel and I took apart Xoie, t' rocket with which we (Masten Space Systems) won t' Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge Level 2, aka one million dollars. Well, blow me down! This video is about two hours o' work in two minutes. Avast, me proud beauty! T' software chopped off t' end, shiver me timbers, unfortunately. Ya scallywag! T' LOX tank has since had some machinin' done on it and will become a test stand tank, and t' IPA tank was cut in half t' see what was wrong with it. T' helium tanks are in storage, and some o' t' avionics will be reused. Begad! T' plan is t' rebuild t' vehicle almost entirely, with an aeroshell. We'll then use it t' explore t' transonic regime and other issues with higher speed flights.
