And you are getting a 'chubby' over the data? You do realize that if this was Jr. High, I would now have to beat you up. You launched your IPOD? And you are getting a ‘chubby’ over the data?

BTW, by "prelude" I mean that I have a lot of data and video about this launch. I'll surely be doing more launches in the future, but I have <b>a lot</b> to share about this one.

GPS, yaw, roll, and a camera all-in-one. Not a bad payload at all! And I'll admit I'm curious to know how resilient the iPhone is -- the g-forces and vibration present in larger rockets have a tendency to tear components off PCBs.... I've seen rockets and helicopters shake their payload to pieces. I haven’t heard of anybody launching their iPhone. GPS, yaw, roll, and a camera all-in-one. Not a bad payload at all!
