Maybe you should consider curtailing your financial goals and increasing your rocket budget by $50,000 per year.

Something I have thought about ... . Seriously! Well, maybe five thousand. :wink:

'I battle gravity'
A hobby that involves designing, planning, construction, decorating, launching, exercise and fresh air can't be all that bad.
It's a rewarding in many respects.
I'm still amazed that I can build something on the kitchen table that can go 500 miles per hour. Vertically.

People sometimes ask me what is the purpose of rocketry. In my case, for example, you spend $30+ to launch $400 of parts into the air, and that $400 may or may not come back. That $30 glory lasts for about 1 or 2 minutes. 
People look at me crazy when I say this. I just smile and invite them to a launch. This is the case assuming they didn't run away because I mentioned the "r" word...

I tell people that I burned $35 in 0.7 seconds and $25 in under a half of a second in an H399 and a H410. THAT gets crazy looks. About $50 or so per second.I told people that the motor for my 3rd level rocket cost $100 a second to burn... That's when I got the your nucking futz look
I get the your nucking futz look all of the time. Then I tell them about the 025,000. That is like $3500 I think for about 1 second.

I obsess over rockets. I used to obsess over other things... My wife appreciates my no longer obsessing over her messes because I'm making my own...
