Well, if I were a TARC-age kid ( teens ), this is what I would be building for 2019. Bear in mind that I started flying rockets at age 6 and already had 8 years of building & design experience by the time i was 14, back in 1975. Yes, I would have been able to construct this, by myself, back then ( the carbon-fiber components would have been wooden dowels, 44 years ago. ).
Each egg has it's own compartment with a rigid divider in between and each egg would, naturally, be padded. The payload section "shroud" would slide over the framework and be retained either by a friction fit or small screws.
Since this design is smaller in diameter and less bulky, a 24mm motor MIGHT be capable of reaching the 856 ft target altitude ( up to 881 ft in the Finals ). However I believe that a 29mm motor is the better choice ( ballast required ).
The "Giant Leap" name refers to Neil Armstrong's words on Apollo 11. "That's one small step for a man . . . One giant leap for mankind".
The clipped delta fins are reminiscent of the Saturn V first stage fins. Four fins were chosen, since they are less prone to "coning" than three fins would be.
The paint scheme would be "Saturn V-ish" ( Silver fins, black & white roll patterns, USA, United States, & USA flags, etc ), in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11.
The Booster section might need minor lengthening ( 1"-2" ) to accommodate three parachutes. Similarly, the Payload might require similar lengthening to properly accommodate the eggs.
