Baby steps ... with a few more contributors, this could be turned into, say, a $500.00 missile that works quite effectively.

Watching the video I immediately thought of the SNL skit: https://youtu.be/FaOSCASqLsE?t=141

If I am understanding what I saw, for all the work on the canards, the propellant runs out immediately leaving it to tumble in air,

That being said, I agree that it's a prototype and all that entails. I agree that it can (and probably will be) improved upon.
