3...2...1...FIRE


The summers of my youth were full of aerospace studies and the building and launching of these rocket ships. We experimented with mice pilots and various recovery methods of our multistage vehicles. Separation of pilot escape pods to self gliding retrieval devices. A few mice bravely gave their lives for the cause of knowledge and we honor them to this day.

I got suspended for testing one in my High school hallway.
Great fun high school.

I'm sure the mice enjoyed the ride up.

Shouldn't you be experimenting with cephalopods Kal?

Loved Estes rockets. Many of my other toys flew across the yard attached to a couple of Estes rocket motors.

Cephalopods are a bit harder to come up with in the tunbra then brave astronaut field mice are.
