Wow! What can I say, it's definitely a no brainer that it took a lot of heart to design that, and a lot of courage to launch it as well, especially at night. Much respect and kudos to you!!

Quick questions:
1. Is your tri-Loadstar Dorothy based on the same general dimensions as the original Loadstar, or did you upscale/downscale?
2. Are your first stage boosters separate or joined somehow?
3. What recovery technique did you employ for the booster(s)?
4. What engines did you use for the first and second stages?

Again, wow, and thanks for the pics!
