With any luck, I'll be able to rig up the mirror on a swivel so that once the rocket reaches apogee and starts floating back down to earth, the mirror flips around and records the right way. I'm also thinking about putting some kind of loud beeper in the thing to aid in finding it, should it go off course. Should be a fun project...

Hmm... doesen't get the nose cone get blown off when the parachute part of the rocket engine blows, though? And it just kinda flops around, hanging by a string? 😛

Yeah, that's basically what happens....but I don't think that would really hurt it. They have quite a few model rockets that sucessfully launch and return an egg.
