X-Wing Rocket Launches, Disintegrates Mid-Air
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 8:06 PM on October 7, 2007
Here's the video of the 21-foot-long X-Wing rocket launching at Plaster City, California, and then desintegrating spectacularly in mid-air. And no, it wasn't Darth Vader or those pesky deflector towers, just the stress from the launch. I can only say two things. The first is: absolutely amazing. And the second: poor Porkins. [UPDATE: new close-up video after the jump.]
Come back later for our exclusive feature, with full video and interviews with the Rebel engineers.
