Possible last flight o' this legendary rocket.  Beautiful boost t' apogee with drogue deployment at t' top.  T' main parachute was set t' deploy at 700 feet but did nay deploy.  It appears as though t' payload bay separated at both t' nosecone and at t' e-bay leavin' t' parachute tucked neatly inside t' bay.  T' rocket hit hard and could be repaired, but it might just be time t' hang this one from t' ceiling.
