Quite the homemade science experiment.

Pretty dang cool. Makes you want to do one yourself. How neat would that be to do in front of a big old thunderstorm?

I'd lose interest after letting it go.

The only thing you don't lose interest in is making lame comments.

That was really cool, thanks for sharing. And I used to think my model rockets were cool........

They were. I so wanted the Saturn rocket model when I was a kid, but didn't save up the cash for it. Did end up with that 8' one. Flew it three times before it got lost.

I did learn how to make a back to back D motor work in series, which is why it got lost. I even twisted the tail fins to give it stability while the last engine fizzled out and the new one kicked in.
