This is really cool stuff. I wish my teacher did that in school. We had a big enough schoolyard.

I got into enough trouble with bottle rockets. Then I discovered Estes. Bwahahahahaha!

I actually learned about model rocketry in elementary school, and it became a longtime hobby.

In college I took a course called 'Introduction to Spaceflight', and a project in that class was to build and launch model rockets. Most in the class had never done such a thing before, so they threw together the all in one easy assemble kits, one of which disentegrated upon launch.

I made a two stage rocket, about four feet tall, with a custom paint job. We waited to launch that one last, and everyone in the class stuck around to see what was to be a successful, impressive launch. 8~)

There's just something really appealing about shooting up an egg in a rocket or having one take digital video at its apogee.

Time for a BATF raid on these little missile builders. Don't they know that only the government has the right to bear arms?
