Ours was definitely a family experience. My aunt and uncle in Dallas were originally planning on staying inside. They did not trust the information or the dinky eclipse glasses. They felt better with me showing up with equipment and “coaching” them I guess. I really wanted them and my mom to...

Make your plans!

Yes I had difficulty explaining this to family. At least one was visible to naked eye. I finally just called it a flare.

Everything worked out well in Dallas!

Cloud forecast for Dallas little better for Monday fingers crossed. Frontal boundary and moisture from gulf difficult to model.

We are in Dallas till Monday night. Visiting some family, and hoping for a miracle. I saw the 2017 eclipse in Wyoming. It is definitely something to see. Good luck to everyone.

Excellent on the recovery!

The annual family crawfish boil. Prices high this year. Only boiled 1 sack instead of two.

Estes probably sees the market for scale builders kits being supplied by smaller outfits like Boyce Aerospace Hobbies etc. Check out the reviews at BAH for the Saturn 1 SA-5. The 1st one listed is from John Langford (the guy who bought Estes) from 2022. There is a demand for these scale kits...

Hello, yes I purchased the Red Arrow kit. I never did see the Cosmodrome kits listed on Apogee. I think they are offered to Apogee VIP buyers first, before the regular folks. Hopefully Mike will another batch and sell direct to buyer.

At least you still call him a friend! 😝

For the second stage did you use flip-out fins? I have seen some staged Saturn v's do this technique.

It looks like you are using larger fins as well?
