I did not land a base on Venus (Aphrodite Rocket Flight 1)

In response to my poll on @El_piloto_YT ‘s “I finally landed a base on Venus”, I listened and developed a rocket in sfs, but Aphrodite ARF1 (Aphrodite Rocket Flight 1), an unmanned flight test of the Aphrodite rocket, failed after insufficient thrust and a failed emergency landing, and crashed into the ground. [I had to separate the footage into three parts because of file size]

Video 1: Launch to stage separation.


Video 2: Stage separation to booster landing


Video 3: Booster landing to 2nd stage (+ more) crash
