Been meaning to share some shots of cool rockets that other people built. More photos below.

Mark Canepa’s gorgeous X-15 will take three M motors. (Those are the largest you can import to California, so to go big, you cluster three of them. =)

This one really caught my eye because I have a piece of the wreckage from this very plane — tail 66672 as well as the windshield from the record-setting flight of 66671 in my office.
