Rocket sitting on the window sill in the sunshine in his very Border Terrier sitting pose which always seems very human to me. He is modelling a 'Go Bow Wow' light blue spotty collar in baby cord.
Since I'm not ready to cut the body tube yet, I just stuck the camera in the top in the approximate orientation it would have in the final installation. Imagine the tube continues upward around and through the camera (or rather, imagine the camera in the same orientation, but lower down in the tube).
As you can see, a portion of the camera will protrude outside the tube, but the bulk of it will be inside the tube.
The camera’s field of view is wide enough that this orientation allows it to see the base of the rocket. (However, it occurs to me, as I write this, that perhaps I want it to see a little bit further downward, to get more of the plume in view.)

Kenny's launch pad was missing some pieces (the rod and the hardware it connects to the base with), so I used a couple bucks worth of hardware store parts and a scrap of 2x4 along with the remaining pieces to build a new one. (For a replacement rod alone, Estes wants something like $15.)
Merissa is putting an Alka-Seltzer tablet in the film canister of the rocket. Once water is added, a gas will be produced. Sealing the film canister allows the gas to build up, eventually pushing the lid off and soaring into the sky!
The annual Ricardo Rocket Race has be resurrected. Entrants produce a vehicle powered by a standard rocket - limitations on minimum size and the use of proprietary parts make it a challenge for ingenuity.
Went well until swerving left.

April 2008. My son is passionate about space travel, rockets, the Space Shuttle, the stars and the moon. This is his rendition of a "Rocket Ship" a few months before his third birthday.
This rocket is on the grounds at the National Museum Of Nuclear Science & History here in Albuquerque, NM. I didn't enter the museum as it was closed this morning when I went to take photos.

I had an idea based on the shots I've seen of rentry vehicles from MIRVs that involved watching the trajectory of fireworks. This is the best I could come up with without waking my neighbors at 11:30. The bright point of light is the bottle rocket exploding. Unfortunately the rocket motor on the firework burns out well before the explosion.
