and
That (5.5 meg)

Oh... and welcome to the forum! :-)

Oh... and I made you a really crappy avatar, which you can use till:
  • A: you give me a better idea (or I come up with one)
    B: you replace it with one of your own.
Woot!

Am I just a helpless victim of pop-psychology, or does that rocket look more than usual like...? Oh, never mind :oops:

* ahem *

So Rocketdork, you're really into rockets then?

Pop-Psychology? Sigmund would be proud. He would also have a hay-day with the whole rocket thing...something about penetrating the sky, rocket shapes, ejection at apogee, etc...gotta say something about my psych...don't know what though.

Yep, I really am into rockets and will talk about them with anybody that will listen.

gotta update my webpage but this shows a project I did, and another preview of another I am working on.

Video of one of my launches.

yep saw the movie, read the books too. Interesting. Some technical problems with the movie...but not enough to disrupt the movie too bad.

Actually I have received email from Homer Hickum (the guy the movie was about). Still playing with model rockets.
