The incredible movies (with sound!) at Gates Bros. Rocketry tell the tale. The quality of these movies is by far the best I've seen from the "strap a camera to a flying toy" community. They have a nice gallery of still photos too. If only everyone named Gates did stuff this cool."

Tens of thousands of USD is blown up in the air and converted into a couple of movies which can be shown on Slashdot so that we can make insightful comments like this?

Microsoft spends billions of dollars in producing software that makes computers insecure, just so that we can comment it here at Slashdot... The founder of Xircom and his brother just found a cheaper way of keeping us glued to Slashdot... ;)
