This has been a particularly tough winter for me because I have been sick with pneumonia for almost three weeks. Today I was less symptomatic tan I have been in a while and the kids were getting restless. Despite the bitter cold I decided it was a good day to launch the rockets we built over the past few months. We started out late in the day so I told the kids that it was probably just one shot each. It was the most excited I've seen them in a while. We loaded up the truck and headed to the school yard and enjoyed some family aerospace:
First picture; All astronauts with their respective space craft. I am the really big kid.
Second Picture: Three year old Natalie with her Alpha. Not shown; Hello Kitty decals.
Third Picture: Flight Chief Dad checking Natalie's connections.
Fourth Picture: Hello Alpha on A8-3. Flight to about 300 feet. Ejection at apogee. Where'd the 'chute go? Fortunately the spacecraft landed on some nice soft snow. No parachute, just six shroud lines with charred tips.
Fifth Picture: Cosmonaut Ryan and Der Red Max.
