What keeps you from shooting this one downward, fragmentation risk?
Could put another big I-beam out past the far LLC pad.
Congrats on a full burn, that's a lot of pounds to cast.

December 19th test will have the pressure port on the steel nozzle

had the pressure port on the bulkhead.
Makes sense. You're certainly playing with bigger motors than I am! I
had plans for some 6" tests before covid, and then more significantly,
fire bans here in Colorado messed us up. Maybe next year!
