The asymmetric thrust issue hopefully should not happen next time since they have switched from the graphite engine nozzle to a film cooled steel nozzle which should be much less susceptible to cracking.

How much thrust do these rockets produce?

i was the second one to launch the mini rocket and mine hit the groud first, but thats because the parachute caught air like 10 feet from the ground, 0 casualties
