Whats so cool about that video is that they actually caught the whistling of the balls coming back down... I only heard tales of this... and as the one that I saw shot off at LC well it never came back to earth as far as we can figure... What the hell is on the other side of that hell I gotta find the topo maps... :peep:

Heres a few pics of our desert crews BB mortars.....



The night shots are sweet cause we put glow sticks inside each ball and when there shot at night you can see them trace all the way out. :coffee:
