Nothing a little JB Weld can’t fix.

I am going to try to fix her with one spare coupler and a special epoxy that can be used to fix fractures in tractor engine blocks. I have a running joke with my rocket mentor about the limits of this magical glue (it already held a fin on for a supersonic flight).

It’s better than duct tape, IMHO.

    Did your electronics not detect launch? What went wrong? The up part of the flight was beautiful though.
