His NAR number is less than zero.



He is the world’s most interesting rocketeer.



NASA flight directors have his number on speed dial.



He once entered a Big Bertha in Super Scale competition, and won.

ROFL!

The FAA calls *him* for flight clearance over his rocket range.

He once built a rocket out of three sheets of toilet paper, a stick of Juicy Fruit gum, and a Band-Aid. And won a contest with it.

Richard Branson and Paul Allen finance his experimental designs.
 
Besides making things that go boom and produce clouds of smoke; he smokes cigars, drinks whiskey, and enjoys women.

He must be Tony Stark's dad :cool:
 
He doesn't need a tracker..... his rockets always come right back to his feet.
 
He only smokes BT 50 or bigger cigars rolled with chinese news paper.This is an awesome thread. I love humor:roll::clap::clap: Scotty Dog
 
He sketched the design of the V-2 on a cocktail napkin over drinks with Wernher von Braun in a Berlin nightclub.
 
"NARAM competitors THANK him for taking first place in every event."
 
He initiates main deployments using voice commands.

He runs out and catches recovering high power rockets.

He launches high altitude Machbusters in precision spot landing events, and wins every time.

He consistently achieves high altitude boosts, long duration glides and gentle landings with stock Cosmos Mariners and Astron Invaders.

He can construct accurately scaled and durable Apollo LES towers out of dental floss in his sleep.

He customizes his FlisKits Saturn 1Bs with blueprint-accurate capsule interiors.

The waiver kisses him.

He sued the BATF and was successful in getting an important composite propellant constituent removed from the explosives list.

He always pays forward.
 
In his lifetime, he has built only one Estes Mosquito kit,

which he still has,

after 783 flights.


At all LDRS launches, he is the only flyer ever to be issued a lifetime “Fast Pass” for the away pads safety check-in line.

The world's most interesting rocketeer:

On filling body tube spirals: “ There is no spoon, and there are no spirals”
On flying your rockets naked: “Only if you have the body for it”

When he built an upscaled Patriot, it wasn't an upscale of a kit. Be worried if he ever takes an interest in this thread...
 
He successfully gets Estes to start producing B14's again and any other BP engine he wants in whatever production quantity he needs.


This has to be one of the funniest threads EVER !

He shows up to a SCRA launch with an Exoskell powered by a Quest C6-5. Fred lets him fly it.....

He then produces an overbuilt Mars Lander with the exact same motor. Fred even hooks it up for him.....

He then pulls out a Quest D5 and looks it over before loading it into a new Estes Saturn V. Fred even tells him to roll lots of tape around the motor so it fits correctly. It works.....

He then takes a turn at RSO. Fred isnt allowed to fly anything...

:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:
 
For him, no kits are out of production.

The FAA call him and asks if he needs a waiver. They all laugh because he don't need no steenkin' waiver.

He has a license to kill. (oops, wrong forum)

He knows exactly how much BP to use for his DD without ground testing
 
His delays are accurate to the nano-second.

Sweet thread. :clap:
