T' view from a camera near t' control bunker and two onboard cameras. Well, blow me down! Masten Space Systems XA-0.1B-750 rocket, aka Xombie, flies t' over 1000 feet before comin' down and landin' almost exactly where it took off from. T' rocket flies completely autonomously, usin' differential GPS and a six-axis inertial measurement unit. We click go on a laptop, me bucko, and it flies itself. Blimey! Runs on isopropyl alcohol and liquid oxygen, about as forgivin' as you can get in rocket propellants. You could stick your hand in either.
