I wonder if you could make an R/C Space Shuttle and control in back for a landing after the rockets run out?..That would be cool!

Cool slide show!..I like how you got the model rocket launch pix with the song part...:)

Been doing HP Rocketry for quite a while...

Here is a great movie of one of SLRA's member's rocket not doing very well at launch:

Rocket Mishap

It was a four motor cluster of K1100 motors.  2 of them CATO'ed at ignition.  Pretty spectacular to say the least....

LOL Creamo,

I'm still alive! As long as you're inside of a vehicle when the lightning strikes, you're not grounded, and will remain safe. The only thing you'll feel is a little bit of residual static, and smell a strong odor of ozone. The thunder clap produced is the worst part of it. It creates one hell of shockwave when you're that close to it. It's quite spectacular really. We did this a couple of times a few years back.

Our shennanigans came to a screeching halt after my friend received third degree burns on his legs while we were creating fire tornadoes...LOL  His wife isn't too fond of us hanging out together anymore... But that's a whole other story!
