The motor was custom made, and when it ignited the it failed on the side of the case which caused the explosion... My dad and his friends worked for a long time on this rocket, I felt really bad for all of them after this happened.

I seem to recall that the full scale ones did this too. That's what we call accuracy in modeling... :-) The men who rode them were beyond heroes. There is no word for what they did.
