This optical illusion shows how dots on a chessboard make it appear warped because our minds feel compelled to "connect the dots." It's titled Reverse Windwarp because the video is backward. The producer placed 200 pips on the board and then blew them off gradually. In the video, the blowing appears to add the pips. -via The Daily What

Loved the parachutes - they were just the colour I remember from all those years ago. Except I must have seen it in black and white. Odd how the memory plays tricks.
I know that where I live, you need permission for even far smaller rockets. This mastodont would never get permission to even be built up, let alone that it also would be launched...
Cool that it landed upright like that. Must have had a really heavy bottom.
That's some expensive hobby, I bet.
I guess they were going for aethetics, not pure performance.
