This flying "grain silo" which is 9 meters in diameter and about as high as a 15 story building was launched about half of a day ago. It was not flying straight because it's single engine is mounted off center (mounting intended for 3 engines).



Gyro:
Impressive. Wide enough aspect ratio not to need legs! A nasty looking fire around the engine from about 35s in the first video.

There are six legs which you can see deployed. It's just they are as wide as rocket itself.
Gyro:
Ha yes, I didn't notice them deploy - I was too busy watching the engine.  I'd been thinking they looked more like scaffolding feet.

This would make moving house so much easier.
