Ground Control to Major Tom

Astronaut Augie had his first launch on Memorial Day. Sadly, due to choosing an over-ambitious vehicle (it could fly as much as 1,100 feet) and a badly placed sun, we do not know where it landed… 🙂

However, as rocket scientists Augie and I have learned from our mistakes and next time our rocket will be limited to 350 feet…

Augie has already successfully built it…

And we are just waiting on the smaller Estes A engines…

P.S. If you live in Strasburg, did you find our rocket? 🙂

(It was a Taser model, not the second one pictured in this post.)

If so, please contact us.
