Surgery is required after the first and every flight. Only a certified Rocket Doctor will do.How many flights before you are a certified chiropractor?
Is that tougher than Brain Science?So, it is rocket surgery?
So..... Yes?Six of one half dozen of the other.
I use all kinds of stuff, but I also get my inspiration from a lot of different places.
This takes my fancy ATM...

The ‘world’s most powerful tidal turbine’ starts to export power to the grid
I saw the photo and thought... that would make a cool rocket...

that would make a great rocket.
Well, maybe a scaled version. I doubt "that" could be made to fly.....
The article in the link states it weighs 680 metric tons and is 74 meters long.
It probably violates the no metal requirements and will take a ton of C5-3 motors to launch....
Then I got thinking: what if I took the wheel off a Ferris wheel and tethered a rocket to fly up and around a horizontal axis like a Ferris wheel...
That was the theory behind theWith enough thrust, anything can be made to fly.
Wrong axis. But Myth Busters did it in "Swing Set 360".Or for something more artful, just head to the PGI convention.
That was the theory behind the

I had 6 different Pringles cannisters, was waiting on finishing the 7th, so I could make a Pringles tube rocket with 7 different varieties (I also hate to paint!)People here may appreciate this --
I have been slowly working on finishing a container of powdered ice tea so that I could use the canister for a couple of ring tails on some rockets... slowly over a few months (I don't drink that much ice tea) I have watched the level get lower till it was almost gone...

Then I go to the cabinet to find the ice tea and it is a full canister again. Turns out my wife dumped the last scoop or so into the new container and threw away the almost empty canister...
Now every time I drink iced tea I am a bit depressed over how much farther I need to go to get a ring tail... I may just dump this whole canister in a Tupperware container!!!

That sounds like a good idea.I may just dump this whole canister in a Tupperware container!!!
I failed to share my intentions with my wife
That can is required to be made into a fin can for a cluster, a quad motor, 4×70 mm cluster. That flies on four C engines.
