A big thank you to everyone at TCC for a great October Skies. Thanks to Matthew and family in the tent next to us for helpful tools and banter. And a special thanks to James' voiceovers on my video during LCO duty as he watched our supersonic shred. And I'm so happy that Martin Hall got some candid photos of our posse as we watched our flights. Here's a sample: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/8152713169/ It's a perspective I should try more often, when everyone else is looking up… to look out. I think I last did this is 2008, when Gene's Q motor CATO'd overhead, and it's one of my most memorable images: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/2693614576/#comment72157631927908879 Steve --------------------------------------------------------- Steve Jurvetson Draper Fisher Jurvetson Phone: 650-233-9000 Work: http://www.DFJ.com/steve Photoblog: http://www.DFJ.com/J Google Tech Talk: http://www.DFJ.com/GTT --------------------------------------------------------- From: Steve Jurvetson <sj@xxxxxxx<mailto:sj@xxxxxxx>> Reply-To: TCC <tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Date: Sunday, November 4, 2012 9:53 AM To: TCC <tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Subject: [tccrockets] Re: More Photos? Strange. All of my Facebook posts were there, and then disappeared in the past 5 minutes. They now show up in the right sidebar "recent posts by others" and clicking the "See All" link lets you see them.

Andy, Yeah, but editing them takes me a lot longer than shooting them… =) I did not get the Kraken in flight since we were focused on tracking and recovering the Nest at the time. I did get a ground shot of you guys: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/8154214217/sizes/o/ Here is the next frame of the Goblin-Red Max drag race, 0.26 seconds later… https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152236211810611&set=o.457712987614089&type=1&theater and so I could not get a shot of both rockets under thrust (the gap was too great). I just posted the remaining shots on Facebook, with a closer drag race, and Gene's metal storm: https://www.facebook.com/OctoberSkies2012Photos Steve --------------------------------------------------------- Steve Jurvetson Draper Fisher Jurvetson Phone: 650-233-9000 Work: http://www.DFJ.com/steve Photoblog: http://www.DFJ.com/J Google Tech Talk: http://www.DFJ.com/GTT --------------------------------------------------------- From: Leslie Stephens <ahansom@xxxxxxx<mailto:ahansom@xxxxxxx>> Reply-To: TCC <tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Date: Saturday, November 3, 2012 11:10 PM To: TCC <tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Subject: [tccrockets] Re: More Photos? Hi Steve As Always great photo's. Aren't digital cameras great, makes it easy to take hundreds and hundreds of photos without the hassle of developing and then storing the negatives and pictures. I was wondering if you had any of my Kraken that I shredded? We launched right after you and Eric launched the Nest rocket on Saturday and maybe some more photos of the Goblin-Red Max drag race photo you posted.

I have a ton of airborne shots I'll delete soon to free up space, so please let me know if you want more of any you see below (where I posted my favorites of the launches I caught). I could not catch everything in between rocket prep, because my son and I launched ten motors on Saturday! =) I lost a black cylindrical video cam during my supersonic shred on Sunday in case anyone found one falling out of the sky…. It might have an awesome video on it… =) Video compilations (2 pad cams + panning shots): • Epic Cluster (with motor on each fin tip): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUWNiz0vi2E&feature=plcp • NEST rocket on AMW M2200 Skid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-LHCQK7tZA&feature=plcp • Erik's 12-ft. tall Bruiser XL on cluster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VZkE4Zhjak&feature=youtu.be • Ground video of my supersonic shatter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SF80hxT1Q4&feature=plcp (both on-board cameras failed – one did not retain video through 100 g interruption, and the other went missing in free fall) Photos.

Hopefully someone else had enough of a heads up to get a pic? Thanks! Richard
