why are they not launching to put mist of the trajectory over the Gulf?

It is interesting they launched this thing out in farm/ranch country not far south of G W Bush’s place in TX.

It must be fun collecting all of the pieces.

“It must be fun collecting all of the pieces.”

This is what we call a rocket that re-kits itself and requires a trash bag recovery.

What would have been really cool is if they had installed a BRS on the top of the F9R that could have been activated and brought the rocket down slowly.
