Ed Jacoby - Skye Dance XXIX
Ed Jacoby with his "former" test vehicle, a PML Eclipse.
Ed's experimental blue motor provides LOTS of thrust for the Eclipse. It was hard to catch with the camera!
The last flight of the Eclipse, powered by a J275. The Olsen said it was ready...apparently it wasn't.
Shovel recovery. The rocket totally disappeared into the soft dirt. The nose cone ended up in the Carboniferous strata, next to a dinosaur bone. Another couple of inches and it would have hit magma! A great way to dig a new water well!
