Brought the rocket and gear for a handoff today to my rocket pals who are driving out to the desert where I will join them on Saturday for the BALLS launch. Our favorite nitrous hybrid R-motor rocket will be back, for Jeff’s fifth attempt to keep it together…

And a new trial of the RocketMavericks’ Howitzer

and the home-brew bowling ball cannon

Wishing them luck, but great photography fun in any case. Will bring cameras…

  2. Now, what that vehicle needs is a Mindstorms crawler-transporter.

  4. Tell Bruno hi for me and good luck with that cool stuff!! Show us a vid of the howitzer launcher in action… and of course, your carbon fiber # leaving the atmosphere!

  5. Lovely. I hope to see you there. What day are you planning on launching?

  6. If there are two of those jobbies on the playa, you’ll have to know what the plural of "Mongoose" is…. Mongooses, Mongeese, or Mongavin?

    Looking forward to some great pics

  7. There will be two Mongoosi, with similar motors no less. James and built our motors together…. and he ended up needing a haircut…. =)

    Nathan: Saturday afternoon if the various vehicles arrive early enough.

    Victor: will do. I will have various vid cams and tripods. Now you have me thinking I want to attach one to the barrel…

    P^2: maybe I can repurpose the LEGO Shuttle transporter. They must be looking for a good home for it as the program winds down…

    Old Skool

    Vanita: I need a catchy jingle like that…. Hard to stop sub-vocalizing it once you start…
