A Pegasus booster goes out of control moments into flight carrying NASA's X-43A experimental aircraft off the coast of California. Former astronaut Gordon Fullerton aboard the chase plane where the video is being shot provides play-by-play commentary of the rocket's actions. The video signal does break up later in the flight. Source video: NASA TV (525k, 54sec QuickTime file).
