Recall that the K-41 capsule is to be rigged to parachute suspended horizontally. There's no way the aerospike would survive a point-down landing.

Yes, I know this is going slowly. . . .


I didn't get a Yuri's Day or a Big Al Cinco de Mayo launch because the weather's been so crappy. So I'm shooting for a Memorial Day launch, with K-41 to take to the skys after 41 years.


I'll post more pictures in coming days. I've got some Rescue Sandhawk pictures, too.
