Are they testing only the ejector system of the tube? The rockets seem to fly only to a short height and then fall; does this mean the rockets failed?
2021-01-12 20:51:20 +0000 UTCthat explains a lot of failures and casualties then
2020-10-06 05:46:50 +0000 UTCThe missiles that were launched from the surface contraption didn't get that slight nudge upward.

2020-10-05 16:16:24 +0000 UTCNot enough boosters for KSP!! :)
2020-10-05 14:13:31 +0000 UTCVideo said it was a "piston" that helped launch it. perhaps it was the Piston priming itself. Love soviet launch videos. They make me nostalgic to play KSP.
2020-10-05 14:00:04 +0000 UTCWas R-29R liquid or solid fuel?
2020-10-05 12:29:01 +0000 UTCFascinating and also hilarious. Turns out ICBMs are hard. Amazing find Jive!

2020-10-05 12:10:12 +0000 UTCI think so, also the missile is positively buoyant.
2020-10-05 11:46:08 +0000 UTCyea, I saw that too. I'm not sure what causes that.
