Fins totally work and that's why almost all rockets use them to some degree
for stabilisation while in the atmosphere.

with less than that".

So, puts it in context! So much possible now that was unthinkable back then.

Barnard they've really missed an opportunity here". Glad to see it's him! His
videos are always in-depth and don't hand-wave or gloss over the various
technical problems he encounters/fixes. He also does detailed breakdowns on
the successes and failures of his launches which I really enjoy.

I have been launching rockets with my son the last few years, but it was kind
of boring after a while because you I thought you can't (legally) introduce
any controls. I thought! This has taught me that you can introduce controls
for stability. That sounds pretty exciting.

He's not landing it back at the pad or anything like that, just wherever it
happens to be coming down at. Then keep it vertical(ish), keep it from moving
too fast sideways or it'll tip over (again, stability, not guidance), and
wherever it touches
to 
 generate a stabilizing torque, whereas there are no such external force 
 generated by the skyrocket engine (early than the thrust it produces). 

 Fins wholly work and that's why almost all rockets practice them to some academic degree 
 for stabilisation while in the atmosphere.
