The rocket was one of REPCONN's designs. It became infamous after an incident that destroyed the launch site, although the company responded optimistically, noting that an important lesson was learned in the creation of explosion-resistant shielding for both their rockets and their launch sites.[1]
↑REPCONN Aerospace plaque: "V29-321G may look like a big, fat, red rocket, Rocketeers, but Ol' Fatty here ran circles around the Earth not so long ago, so let's see you keep up! Sure, V29-321G's re-entry gave it its more commonly-known nickname "Big Fat Fiery Fred," but here at REPCONN we chose to focus on the successes and apply what we learned about explosive-resistant shielding to future models and even our landing platforms!*"
