Day of learning...

I had the opportunity to teach my son two important lessons today.
1. How to launch a rocket:
2. How to sneak into a gated community and retrieve said rocket:

It's great when you can find them... I used to take my 4 kids rocket flying years ago... and we lost a couple.

Growing up we lost a lot of rockets too. A and B engines we could get back, sometimes we would get back C engines, but all the D engine rockets were single use affairs.
Good thing they are generally not expensive, but the engines do add up quickly in an afternoon of fun.

"Roddie the Romantic" once packed the nose of a rocket with confetti strips that read "Roger Loves Linda" (an old girlfriend) so that when the ejection charge popped the nose-cone off... the little messages would be spread far and wide!

Yeah that was a two stage D rocket. The first launch was one stage. All went well so we decided to try both stages. It took a turn for the horizontal shortly after liftoff. Glad it didn't land in someone's backyard.
