Haha. Very funny.
Both vehicles are the same type in the Space Loft series.
In the first, someone has put fake altitude data to try to make their claim.
Pretty good.
What is really going on when they "hit the wall" is a de-spin mechanism is
released. Two weights on strings are released to increase the moment of inertia
and slow the spin rate. The outward view better captures this. Imagine an ice
skater throwing her arms out in a turn, it decreases her spin rate. Just like
the ice skater, the rocket wants to slow down its spin rate for better videos
and usually some other scientific payload.
I will link three new videos to watch.
The first, an unedited Spaceloft flight. (Check out some of the other videos,
the footage is amazing) https://youtu.be/2uNcdJy8Frc
The second, another sounding rocket to space and back.

And third, a demonstration of the de-spin mechanism by one of my favorite
garage Youtubers. https://youtu.be/ZKAQtB5Pwq4
Hopefully that helps,

I don't believe the earth is flat - I believe like 99.999% of everyone else
that it is spherical. But I've seen a lot of rocketry video and the end of
these seem strange.
So I wanted to get opinions from the collective of people in this group
smarter than I.
