Getting Ready

Armadillo has been given permission to pressurize tanks for their first launch attempt. Not sure what the delay has been, but the judges have granted them an additional hour over their original alloted two and a half hours. And Rocketman is about to fly again.

[Update a few minutes later]

About a minute to ignition of Armadillo’s “Pixel” vehicle.

[Update]

It looked like a succesful flight. It ascended smoothly, translated to the left (from my view), hovered for half a minute or so, then descended halfway to the ground, hovered again for a bit, then slowly descended to a soft landing.
