Default Excelsior Rocketry and Roachwerks temprarily closed for just a few day.

Nothing serious.

Gus and I are travelling to NASA's Wallops Flight Facility for the launch of the MLAS so no decals or nose cones for a few days.

We'll take pics and give a report when we return.

Default The trip

Hopefully they will have the Scout back up at the visitor center. Would like to see some some nice pics of that. Now that you can get on the roof of the center, you can get some interesting picture angles on the not so true Little Joe I and launch stand.

Enjoy the trip gentlemen.

Be sure to get receipts for everything.

Maybe you can write off your expenses comes tax time.

Maybe...MAYBE!!!!

When I went to NARAM 43 in NY and my district sales manager showed up I handed him my 6 months sales report. Even got a picture of me handing it to him!

I wrote that whole trip off!

Much more legal than embezzeling from your emplyees retirement account.

sandman,

I think you can legitimately consider your trip as research for new products for both your companies. I would even go so far as to say all the rockets you build, and motors you burn, are done simply to test out products prior to sales to a your customers.

It is the least you can do to make sure you are offering products thoroughly wrung out in the field!

Well, we're back and in typical NASA fasion the mission was postpone three times while we were there.

We may do a trip back but it's already been posponed AGAIN!!

Very dissapointed but I guess we understand.

This is a NASA simulation of what we were supposed to see (and may yet!).

It's really a large file but way cool!
