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.)
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.

This is Rocket, a 3 year old female Min Pin mix. Rocket is the star of the show! She is a little girl, but she knows how to have a good time. She loves to play with other dogs and meet new people. She has stunning good looks and is very unique. She will be the talk of the town. Adopt Rocket today!
Tuesday I volunteered at PAWS Atlanta. I took photos of some of the dogs and cats that need homes. I thought I'd also remind people you can find great pets at shelters and in rescue groups. And of course, help control the pet population, please spay and neuter your pets!!

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.
The Saturn V's size and payload capacity dwarfed all other previous rockets successfully flown at that time. With the Apollo spacecraft on top, it stood 363 feet tall, and, ignoring the fins, was 33 feet (10 m) in diameter. Fully fueled, the Saturn V weighed 6.5 million pounds (2,900,000 kg) and had a low Earth orbit payload capacity originally estimated at 261,000 pounds (118,000 kg), but was designed to send at least 90,000 pounds (41,000 kg) to the Moon.
Later upgrades increased that capacity; during the final three Apollo lunar missions it deployed about 310,000 pounds (140,000 kg). The Saturn V was 58 feet (18 m) taller than the Statue of Liberty from the ground to the torch, and 48 feet (15 m) taller than the Big Ben clock tower.
The Saturn V was principally designed by the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, although numerous major systems, including propulsion, were designed by subcontractors.
The Saturn V was primarily constructed of aluminum. It was also made of titanium, polyurethane, cork and asbestos.
The Saturn V consisted of three stages—the S-IC first stage, S-II second stage, and the S-IVB third stage—and the instrument unit. All three stages used liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer.
