His flight card says only, “Level 4”

[Mikus]

Is that Dave Mustaine?

Yep.

 

[Pippen]

Women beg to spend all day with him at Saturday launches, and when the launch ends they always say "Can we do this again tomorrow?"

I appreciate that one!

Greg

 

[luke strawwalker]

I appreciate that one!

Greg

Yeah as if... OL JR

 

[Marlin523]

He has recovered every rocket he has ever flown with no damage.

 

[DaveHein]

He once road on top of a 360-foot rocket with over 7 million pounds of thrust

He piloted a craft down to the lunar surface ... and stood up the whole time while doing it

He hopped on the moon like a kangaroo ... just because he could

He punched an obnoxious film maker in the face ... and everyone cheered

He danced on national television ... even though he could not dance

 

[NAR29996]

He's got 24 perfect pictures out of an Astrocam on one roll of 24 exposure film

And on one flight!

 

[MarkII]

Women want to date him because he launches model rockets. They listen with rapt attention as he discusses the CP/CG relationship and swoon when he talks about choosing an optimal delay.

He stars in his own reality show on MTV - The Maryland Shore.

 

[MarkII]

His shouted exhortations and body english actually influence drifting rockets and gliders.

 

[jdbectec]

Vern Estes and Lee Piester hope to meet him one day

Neil Armstrong asked for his autograph

Chuck Norris avoids him

 

[GregGleason]

... Neil Armstrong asked for his autograph ...

That's a good one!

Greg

 

[MarkII]

His range box is a tandem trailer.

His aerial videos and photos are in holographic form.

 

[powderburner]

The parts of his rockets wouldn't dare to move out of place

 

[luke strawwalker]

He constantly uses the terms "CATO" and "cato" interchangeably, and refers to premade propellant units both as "motors" and "engines", and all the anal-retentive types who constantly argue and correct others for such things ALWAYS say he's right...

He's the most interesting rocketeer in the world...

Later! OL JR

He's the most interesting man in the world

[eugenefl]

Great thread! Good stuff.

Buzz Aldrin's Rocket Experience

Stay buzzy, my friends.

 

[dlazarus6660]

How about this one....

He taught MacGyver everything he knew, but held back somthing!

 

[roadkill]

He has never experienced a 'bonus delay'...

 

[MarkII]

He has never experienced a 'bonus delay'...

He has never shredded a parachute... unintentionally.

That face on Mars? He put it there.

Recently, the Mars Lander that he lost in 1970 was found - 2km from the summit of Olympus Mons.

Footage from one of his night launches was used by Spielberg in the climactic scene of "Close Encounters."

 

[mjennings]

And on one flight!

I think on 24 individual flights might be more impressive in it's way

 

[judo]

He does not need the "Search" button. Information comes to him.

 

[sylvie369]

He taught the Chinese how to make gunpowder.

His igniters don't need continuity: they work regardless.

 

[MarkII]

He has a 20G centrifuge set up in his garage and a rocket sled and track in his backyard.

He knew exactly where the Liberty Bell 7 was located on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. He smiles but declines to answer when he is asked about the location of the hatch.

He launches actual Nike Smoke rounds to check wind patterns prior to launching his model rockets.

He flies to LDRS each year in his own SR-71.

 

[Mike Howie]

The BATFE was winning, until he decided to weigh in.

 

[DAllen]

"I don't always drink beer, but when I do it's Fat Tire."

 

[H_Rocket]

"I don't always drink beer, but when I do it's Fat Tire."

But only after the keg has flown to 80K to be properly chilled, using the only R impulse motor made by Estes.



FAI is upset because he will not allow the World Space Modeling Championship to be held on his private ranch.

 

[jflis]

Helping answer the all consuming stability question regarding the Saturn V moon rocket, he performed a swing test on it...

 

[roadkill]

His rocket caused the Roswell crash in 1947....
:dark:

 

[rstaff3]

He was the only survivor from the Roswell crash in 1947. :dark:
