I'll play. Will update after tomorrow's BEMRC launch (if the fog lifts enough so that we can fly)

We should have a point to this.
I suggest we eventually combine the total Newton Seconds to see if when combined, we as a group of Ns of Thrust, could have launched a Saturn V.
The other option is to see if the cumulative total equals a Shuttle Launch or a few.
It would be FUN to see if our Propellant Expendatures are equal to an actual Space Launch, even though it is just for FUN, and the Fuels and Systems are not comparable.
This gives us a Mutual Goal and Reference Point, rather than making a Competition out of it.

Excellent idea!

It would take 1000 people to sign up and each "burn" 140,000 total Ns a year for 10 years to equal the total Ns provided by 1 Shuttle SRB.

I agree that a mutual goal would be more fun than a ranking or competition of some kind. It's about a tally, not about tallywackers.

I hope it wasn't my comment that put you off this tally. My point was more about the format of how this list is organized as a ranking, not about keeping track of Ns in general. I was also regretting my earlier comment about being in second place, because that makes it look like I think it's a competition. This should not be a competition, but there's nothing wrong with tallying your motors burned. And I've never had any impression of you as some kind of rocket snob! Put your name back in! We need your Ns to get this group rocket off the ground!

Sent up one of the Halloween Bowl rockets in the Cul-De-Sac. I launched a 21 year old D12-0
(code was 21X12). I'm now officially on the roll of having contributed to the community Saturn V launch. :D

By my math, we would need 1k people to each burn a CTI O3400 once a day for a year to equal the Saturn V.

Count me in- sound like fun!

And don't forget to copy the last version of the list and update your total there... I noticed that I was dropped back to zero.

Oh you might be surprised!

Granted I travel around a lot to fields with higher waivers, but that's in the summer. Over the winter most of my flying is at home field in O'burg. Waiver is 10,000 with mostly sod. So I fly a lot of my little stuff, that I don't take on the road with me.
Besides it sure is a lot of fun just sticking motors in a rocket, using motor deploy. I can fly 3-4 of them in the same amount of time it takes to set up DD.

So it might be awhile before you see anything larger than a J... I got a lot of F's & G's during BSS to fly!

Plus a couple of fun Proto-types been working on for above stash...LOL

Oops forgot I flew the BlackHawk on a I-161. 3 flights Sat... 2- Sunday.
