Moon landing !
Armadillo scooped $350,000 – the top prize for the first level of the competition – last October for being the first team to launch a rocket vertically to 50 metres and hover and turn for 90 seconds before landing, and repeating the process within hours. At Goddard, there was no record of where the Moon landing footage had gone.
BAD HARDWARE suggests: Land on Moon using the winner design, launch it again up to 50 meters high and take a great Moon panorama video for 90 seconds. Provided they are at the Apollo Moon landing site. We will curiously get first Moon video ever from that height. To see Moon shadows were they really belonging.
