Thanks to a rocket name posted
here, this may just have to be my next build.

I'm thinking three inch body tube and thick rounded fins. The little people astronaut is to scale. It's short, so it'll need nose weight, but I'm guessing not too much. I may have it separate completely so the "capsule" can come down on it's own; if I can figure out a good way to get a streamer attached to the top of the nose cone so the capsule comes down right side up then I'll definitely have to do that. And I do have a germ of an idea how to do it.
