wow that sound is impressive as its falling to the ground! thats why i only do d power rockets they only cost like 30 bucks to made i dont care if they break lol. great vid
Yep, I uploaded this in 2007, and I found the owner of the video...
Eclipserocketry's V2 Rocket takes a plunge, it was quarter scale and it flew in Cambridge (UK) at the East Anlian Rocketry Society launch site and both sets of electronics did not detect launch because the launch was so gentle!
My first rocket floated away on the parachute and was lost in trees. My second snapped the shock cord and fell to ground. It was much smaller than this one but made the whistling sound on the way down which was kind of cool.
There was no explosion on impact. Part of the rocket bounced into the air, which is a completely different thing. And that is not what is was made to do. If the rocket had worked, than between 20 and 25 seconds into the video, the nose cone would have come off and a parachute would have come out. The rocket would then descend under parachute and land safely.
dude great camera work. seriously great job

Physics are cool. It impacted with essentially the same force required for lift off. My condolences for physics working that day.
