T' followin' is video taken from a camera onboard a model rocket. Aye aye! T' launch took place durin' an "Intro t' t' Nebraska Student Satellite Program / Model Rocket Workshop" given at Little Priest Tribal College in Winnebago Nebraska on April 10 2010 (although t' date stamp on t' video says differently). T' workshop was sponsored by t' NASA Nebraska Space Grant. T' onboard altimeter gave a readin' o' 919 feet for t' rocket, and a look on Google Maps indicate it drifted nearly a quarter o' a mile, shiver me timbers, landin' just 10 feet from a set o' railroad tracks. It also seemed t' just barely miss two thick areas o' trees, shiver me timbers, and a small creek. T' beepin' you hear is from an onboard sonic beacon, used t' aid in t' recovery o' t' rocket. Since t' camera was inverted durin' much o' t' flight, t' original images were upside-down. Aye aye! These were flipped for t' video. This video is very erratic. Aye aye! For an easier-to-view option, be sure t' see t' "Onboard Camera Slide Show" video.
