BALLS was EPIC! We saw a hybrid go over 100K, and I saw the most incredible flight I have ever seen... a P-to-P rocket that executed *perfectly*... the rocket's name was "Miss September". It was the consensus monster flight this year. The aforementioned hybrid came in hot... but there were a lot of great flights.
We had 9 guys from NCR there. I'll let the others talk about their flights - there were some dandies! For my part, I flew a 100% stock KestreL 3 times... first on a K300 (24,000'), on an L640 (24,434') and an L935 (24,828') - all three recoveries were perfect.
The weather could not have been better... totally calm, totally clear, etc. What a great launch...

That is so cool.
You know, JW, it may become routine for hpr to go orbital someday... soon! 😯 Very nice!
