In 2004 the Civilian Space Exploration team launched their go fast rocket 72 miles above the earth to become the first amateur group to be confirmed as having launched a rocket into space.
They repeated this again in 2014. Achieved an altitude of 73 miles above the earth while simultaneously filming the view with a variety of GoPro cameras. Although the rocket is rotating very rapidly at takeoff it quickly comes to a sudden stop when it reaches a point near the apogee after its launch.
After it stops rotating the first stage is jettisoned while the rocket is still traveling upward.
The sudden stop of the rockets rotation became a popular talking point for flat earthers all over YouTube. And you can still see this claim being made to this day where they will say that the first amateur rocket to be launched into space actually bounced off the dome and was captured doing so on video.
Mr. Ky Michaelson (team leader) said, “one of the things to stabilize the rocket, we had to spin it 6 times per second because the government won’t allow us to put any type of steering on it. It’s basically like firing a bullet out of a rifle and spins.
After the GoPros came out you could buy them cheap so we put them on our next flight. It wasn’t to make the earth look round or flat or anything. So because we had to spin this and we want to get good shoots of the earth we decided to build a D spin. Basically it was a cable that was wrapped around with a weight, and once we got that to the altitude where we are at – pushed the button, it unspun, and it’s just like a yo-yo, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. And that’s the sound you hear “zui” – and the rocket stopped rotating immediately after that sound. No dome or anything like that. That stopped it from spinning.
The next sound that you hear is “ping.” That is a piece of C4 that’s wrapped around the body itself and the booster just fell off, and you’ll see the booster, and again no dome because that thing is still going well over 400 mph. That is still traveling. The payload showed us is still traveling at that point…"
Summary: It really was just a yo-yo D spin mechanism that stopped the rockets rotation.
