Default Weather Rocket Kills Feller - Explodes At Cremation!

Dang... just left here and seen THIS, had to come back and tell it! After all this time away from the rocket forums, I find it a trip to come back, leave, and the very first news item I see within 30 seconds is rocket related!

A "shell" is not a "rocket".

I am sure that there is a more technical explanation fer how the thang they had was actually a rocket... you should call the Chinese direct and ask though... before goin on ANY second hand abstract rumors and fragments of incorrect nounage run the risk of makin you decide to just bleeve in your heart one way er another that it's either a rocket er just some dang shell. But then too, as long as we are on precision semantics and all... shells don't project do they? The shell would be the casin, if it were a bullet like projectile in question. Hmmm... I thank I will put down the launchin of my business that I've been buildin fer 5 years, and git to crackin on the mystery of whether er not this is a rocket er a bullet!

I am glad to see you Fred... you are definitely one of my favorite Model Rocketry personalities!
