Default Falcon 1: Third Time Was ALMOST the Charm

Watching the webcast right before telemetry was lost, it looked like the
vehicle was going into a spiral - the guidance was chasing the trajectory and
the oscillations were getting larger and larger.

Too bad - first stage, staging and fairing sep looked clean. The webcast was
pretty good too.
