This one was not the one that was involved in the main incident.
I can't find the picture of the other one but it was a skinny red rocket with plastic light grey fins. It had a small clear "cargo area" just like the skytrax. So my stepfather and I went to the field and launched the skytrax with a B size motor just to check how the wind would blow the rockets. The B size motor went fine with both rockets. Then came the C sized engine. I loaded up the skytrax with it and got it on the launchpad ready to launch it, pushed the button and off it went. It almost got caught in a tree but it landed just over the fence in someones back yard at the other end of the field. I used a stick to get it back over to the field side of the fence. That rocket only goes to 700 feet, but I forgot to put anything into the payload are. So like most young boys do, I caught a bee and loaded into the red rocket, which on a c motor should go to 1000ft. And the parachute was so damaged it was more of a streamer at that point. So I had put it on the pad for it's fifth (and final) launch, with our new astronaut. I pushed the button and it got so high that I lost sight of it for a second, and I was sure that it was completely gone. Never to be seen again. None the less I knew where it would go when it did land, so we searched for it, but there was no luck, so we went to go home. Then out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a grocery bag in a gutter, then I saw something red attached to it. It was the rocket. So my step father and I went up to the door and knocked. The lady who lived there was nice and let us use her ladder to get it. The rocket tube was completely totaled, and it will never fly again, but our astronaut is still inside. So I peeled the tape off of the nosecone and let him out. He was a little confused at first then the second he realized that he could leave the tube of terror he booked it, and was completely gone in a few seconds.
