We have discovered the reason for the evasive altitude changes of the V1.



The above video is slowed down to 1/5 speed.

His chute was seen landing in the Channel.

They're not piloted. They do have a "pilot" hit box and the graphic for bailout is attached to it.

Something making me think Kim Jong-un has one of those "auto pilots" in every one of his launches too... With all the failures, they probably can't take the Gs w/o passing out :)
