Hype is fun . <| sep |> Just a guess , could be a field trial . My dad is into it and I ' ve been to a few . They plant farm raised birds and judge the dog on finding them . These birds usually fly slow and aren ' t afraid of humans . They probably just put this bird back in the field for the next dog . An ethical hunter wouldn ' t just kill the bird . Might sound bad but it ' s more of a sport hunting than sustenance hunting . They still get eaten but it ' s more of dog handling than food . <| sep |> no I haven ' t , lol , got a link ? <| sep |> Noon Eastern broadcast . 1 st quarter just came to a close . <| sep |> It is the 62 grain . <| sep |> I love the kickback boosters they ' re cheap . My goto for midcareermode lifters is a cluster of kickbacks , generally 8 , around the central main liquid fuel tank . Throttle them down a tad unless they payload is heavy . Launch with kickbacks and ignite main engine at full throttle for a little boost , at ~ 50 ms throttle back to nothing on the main engine later , throttle up if necessary to maintain control with gimbaled engine . Once you ditch the kickbacks you ' re already headed for an apoapsis out of the atmosphere , and the main fuel tank is almost full . Stick some small extra fuel tanks on top of the kickbacks if you need to burn the main engine a bit as you go up . Not efficient weightwise , but very efficient in terms of cost , and makes construction easy . Obviously beaten by a SSTO later , but that takes more effort and tech .
