A selection of Saturday’s small to mid-size rockets.

These were just the “walking around” rockets. The really big ones took a team to assemble out on the pad.

Black Rock Desert, Nevada. With a 100,000 ft. launch waiver from the FAA.

    Dabbler: not yet… but they all were later on…

    Benjiman: very cool idea! Make Magazine has directions on how to build a rail gun at home. The metal motor casing might suffice for metal content…. but I’d want to try it with a simple rocket with no on-board electronics. =)
