While I can understand NASA PR instantly claiming success, will we (the
general public) ever know what the engineers really think of how Arex1X
went ?
Vibration ?
Guidance ?
Separation ?
Any explanation on why cameras failed at crucial moments like engine
start and at separation time ? |

I wondered if the camera went out because of the upper stage tumble. |

I do not see how the upper stage mock up could do anything else considering
it was just a lump of dead weight. As I said, it should have had some
capability to be stable on its own, or the whole test would be a bit
pointless.
I'd suggest any test by a six year old tossing any weighted item would show
it will tumble!

'An object in motion will tend to remain in motion. An object at rest
will tend to remain at rest.' Thus, if released cleanly and in the
absence of disturbing torques, the USS should have remained stable, or
at least far more stable than demonstrated - even in the [nearly
complete] absence of atmospheric friction, it would have required
considerable force to overcome inertia and make it spin at the
observed rate.
