We also took some still photos of the Rocket Pig launch from last week. Here is Rocket Pig getting launched:

In flight, showing the laser straight trajectory:

We'd like to show photos of the rocket after the flight, unfortunately though, we can't do that because, well, we lost it somewhere. It may be in orbit or it may be in someones backyard, we're not sure which. What we do know is that NASA is really jealous of the fact that we can launch rockets into space using one billionth of their budget.
