Any roll that YOU CANT STOP is out of control. I'm glad they succeeded, but there is no need for that kind of BS from them. That sucker was rolling 720dps. Most fighters wont roll that fast if you wanted them to.

That sucker was rolling 720dps. That just shows the influence of software development on other engineering disciplines:

Yep, I commented on that earlier today. I'm old enough (young enough?) to remember Gemini 8 when Armstrong and Scott had an uncommanded roll from a stuck-open RCS thruster. Those guys were very close to a red-out at 360 dps before they broke away from the Agena.
Oh well, any sub-orbital you can walk away from...

The pilot walked away from the landing.
It was a good flight.
