And, down, not at all far from the launch site, and apparently quite
gently.
Congrats to everyone at Exos on what looks like a good test flight!

Chute and vehicle body starting to be separately visible, nearing ground?
Low cloud layers in background, so nearing ground.

And the rocket's in sight again, on cam but too blurry to tell much. 'The
chute just deployed" heard. GPS tracking steerable chute apparently
working to steer back toward the planned recovery point. (Band width to
back-country NM apparently a problem, their feed is down to under 200 kbps
now, not much vid detail.) Still descending.

Checklist continues, cam now on swivel (presumably for tracking), and lit
and off... Looking good so far.

Looks like they're done with vehicle prep - they're moving the support
truck away. T-5 minutes. And a "go for launch" poll underway.... All
"go".

T-17 minutes, they just announced. (Yes, the youtube feed is back up.)
They also announced something interesting, which is (I paraphrase) that
they regard this suborbital vehicle as an excellent low-cost way of
building team skills for a future orbital vehicle. So Exos has further
ambitions!

Running a bit late. As best I can tell from the checklist
call-and-response in the feed, they've finished fuel-fill and are working
on LOX fill. Launch relatively soon thereafter, I'd guess.

Does anyone know if EXOS is webcasting or live blogging their launch today?
