An old pontoon boat and an idiot is my guess.

You might want to take a look at the video footage of the launch. No way this was a hobby rocket, more like an MX or some Chinese/Russian equivalent.

Naw. I’ve been out to Black Rock with friends shooting these rockets and they don’t make that big a contrail. This was something larger than a hobby rocket.

these guys generally want their rockets back and so don't launch over the water
