Seeing rockets being launched doesn't do much for me...
Unless there were explosives in the head and it was being aimed at something.

That first shot is pretty cool. The one where the camera is attached to the rocket.

what? "those" rockets? or the crummy estes solid fuel ones?
id imagine youd have a bloody hard time getting the bits to launch ones as in the likes of those videos...
that said, i reckon an aluminium N2O hybrid rocket motor would make a good project...

there was a story on slashdot.org about some australian rocket-nerd attaching video camera and 2.4 GHz transmitter to get live footage from one of these rockets ... (rather than retrieve a camera from the crash site?)

... tho when i last tried his site the movies weren't downloading as it had probably been /.ed
