Largest scale model rocket ever built to launch 25 April

Nice launch and glade it went well. Congrats.

If you look closely at the video there were some folks standing REALLY close to that when it was launched.  Perhaps I watched the NEC talk to much about safety yesterday, but they might have benefited from a little larger no-go zone around the rocket.

That was probably the launch/recovery crew, but then the camera does have a way of making things closer than they actually were. It was a 'heads up launch' in which everyone is required to be standing so they can make a quick getaway if the launch went FUBAR.
