Recently we went to the Moffet Federal Airfield at NASA Ames near Sunnyvale to launch rockets. LUNAR organizes this fun monthly event. This time however could have been the last time; Google leased the airfield from the federal government, and negotiations with Google to keep this tradition alive are ongoing. Knock on wood! LUNAR helped over 10,000 kids fly a rocket for the first time - this event really promotes STEM.

 

I asked a lady to take photos of me while I made our corkscrew rocket ready for launch. I am just kidding with the title, the wiring of the rocket is not rocket science - err, it is but it is not...

 

This home built rockets cork-screws on the way up and reaches about 950 feet on a G-motor.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.
