Hybrid motors may seem simple in concept, but they are deceptively complex to actually fly.  Just take a look at this fill manifold!  The m.a.r.s. team prepped and prepped and prepped some more.  The rocket stood up, the rocket lay down.  The rocket was filled, the rocket was emptied.  It got to be late on Sunday and they were still out there working on it when I got bored waiting at went exploring in the hills around the lake bed.  I never saw what happened, but I heard from others that it catoed.  I feel bad for the team, they had more than their share of trouble this time out.
