Love how #modelrocketry cuts across #3dprinting (advanced designs) #microcontrollers (flight tracking), #chemistry (DIY sugar-based motors), #physics (including computer simulation), and #crafts (sanding, painting, more sanding...). The perfect #science project that scales across ages! 🚀
It's amazing how many things are muscle memory ... if you can wake those memories. #art #modelrocketry
Blue and silver highlights on an R2-D2 droid rocket, with a baseball game on in the background.
Making progress on ol’R2-D2, now with silver highlights. Meanwhile, Peterson was pitching a complete game for the Mets in the background. #ModelRocketry
An R2D2 droid in the process of being painted. Tape masks portions of the drop to prevent painting errors.
Long day. Crazy world. Taking a break with more R2D2 paint work, now with masking! #ModelRocketry
Plastic and cardboard components for the R2D2 flying model rocket.
Building the #R2D2 flying model rocket. R2 drew first blood as I tried to whittle down some excess plastic with an E-Xacto knife.
The kit is from the 1970s and DAMN that plastic is tough! #ModelRocketry
A big water tank truck with the FAR logo painted on the back parked in the desert with mountains far away on the horizon
Looking out across the launch field at FAR with building and bunkers and launch pads in the near distance and mountains in the far distance. Lots of tan and blue sky above.

We drove out to the Mojave desert to launch big rockets at Friends of Amateur Rocketry yesterday. We missed the protests but we did dedicate the pink and green one to the downfall of fascism. #ModelRocketry #Rockets
Just a cat (grey and white) in a box from Max Q Rockets
I got a bunch of model rockets from max Q Rockets…. My cat got a box from Max Q Rockets

One day my son and I will complete the Estes Saturn V and launch it.
I mean. I certainly hope so!
