Twenty eight launches! Not one misfire! Every parachute deployed! Each rocket launched at least twice!!!

Here's a sample photo from the big Girl Scout day today:



It's just a photo of what they looked like before we launched them. As you can see, everybody totally ignored the painting scheme in the instructions! I'll upload some more soon. I believe my wife did get a few action shots of them blasting off the pad.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

Awesome! Some pretty imaginative paint schemes there! I like!

Aim high, fly straight!

Very nice. Maybe I need to adopt some of there finishing techniques.

Yeah, those were 100% kid paint jobs. They learned how to put in the wadding and repack the parachutes with no assistance. I was really impressed with them. The looks on their faces when they launched was priceless. Most of the girls were afraid they were going to explode or something.

LOL. I *ALMOST * wish my Harpoon would have blown up. That way I could have got it all back. I seriously doubt that the Rocketeaticus photosynthi that took it will give it back in a salvageable condition.

Thanks for that information! Centuri Orion...hmmm. The aforementioned Harpoon is a classic as well. Sorry about the rocket-eating tree.

I guess it's true what I tell the kids..."Don't fall in love with your rocket" (kinda hard to follow my own advice, though)
