Next was the fourth flight of the Semroc Centuri Centaur, B6-0 to B6-4. The first flight was perfect, the second wildly unstable, the third perfect again.
This time it flew and staged perfectly, although losing a shroud line brought it back down a little quicker than usual. I claim it conquered.
Then the 16th flight of the Mercury Redstone on a C6-3. It takes off so slowly I was sure I could get a launch pic. Now, I'm equally sure I didn't.
