I used to glue fins and nose cones to 13mm engines and launch out of a paper towel tube “silo” in my sandbox. That count?

“Free bag?” I don’t think they care what you wear. 😂

Nice. I wonder if Rocket Dog hears a high-frequency whine from the launch electronics.

My family never had a “clicker” remote. Our first was a 9v powered infrared remote for cable boxes. The best thing about those was that they worked on anyone’s tv. We’d often ride around the neighborhood on our bikes changing people’s channels through front windows. 😀

Say what you want about their politics but Russians do know how to celebrate.

I am increasingly frustrated. The fear surrounding Covid-19 affects my income directly even if I’M not afraid. Shut down orders and similar also affect me. I can blame partisan politics in the US but this seems to be worldwide. I check BBC, NHK, and der Spiegal regularly. Why are equally...

I maintain that Idiocracy is a documentary.

1. Yes...-ish. Our education standards have dropped for various reasons. Rewriting history and changing what is taught for political reasons also contributes to people not trusting what they’re taught, including science. 2. Yes. Absolutes are not politically correct. So allowing “alternative”...

Grrr. I need a better launch controller and now you guys make me want to build my own. Edit: Screw it. Bought the course. I’m taking the plunge! 😀

I don’t get it. 🤨

I live in Michigan. It was launched from a park less than a mile from the Detroit river. Canada is on the other side. I was surprised to get it back after it drifted out of sight. Never saw the second stage but recovered the first booster.

What’s especially fun is launching a Comanche on all Cs with your address written on the parachute... ...then getting it in the mail four weeks later with international postage. 😉

Still need the expanded front section in my opinion. Four might work, if they’re spaced in pairs instead of evenly. Think an x-wing.

WTF is a peptide

I downloaded the female Aussie voice for Siri. That’s about as close as I want to get.

These stories are why I put up with the freezing winters here in Michigan.

Multiple body tubes ala Sidekick? Say two on each side of the long skinny about half the length. Seems like I’ve seen something similar. Just trying to spark a muse. Whatever you come up with will be cool.

Assume the previous Plasma Darts were small craft; create the Plasma Cruiser or mothership.

Well, call it a “propeller-driven model of a rocket.” Still semantically a “model rocket.” What went through my head was a propeller launch, then an air start rocket. Though you could reverse that also.

One of my students is both a rocket and LEGO enthusiast. He’s going to love this.
