Our first project has been dismantled. However,
the overwhelming desire to create self-important content pushes us onward. We decided to
pick up some rocketry gear and blow a few weekends sending burning carboard tubes into the air
and all over my property. These are the chronological chronicles of that experience....

Our newest Pointless Obsession.... rockets! Download the movie to see Andrew putting things in his mouth that certainly shouldn't go there... two rocket engines on a rocket designed for one engine... rockets with a skirt made of matches... Jumpin' Jesus, I need a nap just talking about it!
Rocket Success
Here's a number of successful model rocket launches and some other bizare stuff.

03/27/06 - Crashes and missing rockets.
|
With rockets, we're less inclined to label any particular attempt a failure.. with a $5 rocket, a crash is as cool as a parachute recovery and often cooler... If something lights on fire and gets airborne for any amount of time we're excited!
Here is some video of some of the best crashes and less than perfect recoveries.
Rocket failure
Here's some video of some nose dives, crashes and explosion aftermath.

04/09/06 - More Rockets!
|
This is probably the last installment of the rocket obsession... We tried some weird stuff... check it out!
You may also notice that the movie format has changed to quicktime, this is due to my shiny new MacBook Pro.
If you don't already have quicktime... you should get it, it's good for watching our movies. Hopefully, sometime within the next day
or so we'll also have this latest video in the iTunes Music Store for download as a free video podcast.
Creative Rocketry
More interesting launches... two rockets tied together, tethered rockets, shoulder mounted rocket and much, much more.
