If the rocket contained only enough fuel to fly 800 feet up, then this is a lame, pathetic joke.

On the other hand, if the rocket contained enough fuel to fly to LA (or ballast weight to simulate that), then consider me duly impressed.

Do you know which is true?

It’s a test model designed to test hardware and software for vertical landings so it only has enough fuel to takeoff, hover, and return to the pad.
