Martin Hall caught us in the act of catching Erik’s 12-ft. tall Bruiser rocket deploying parachutes above.

in awe of Erik’s Nest rocket
And some post flight puckering when our Epic cluster went wild
and the RF tracker in had was not needed as the rocket crashed right in front of us. -
Yes… I really like it… a memento from our visit to JPL
@David Seaton — yes, the hats are standard issue from the Ministry of Silly Walks. When you spend a couple days with no sun protection, you can get fried. Like my neck did yesterday while mountain biking with a helmet without a wide brim. Given the heat, we want light, soft and cool (as in temp, not chic).
Functionality >> Style.
Just like my extra baggy shorts with plenty of pockets for tape, tools and cameras. =) -
@Steve Jurvetson I’m glad you mentioned the "Ministry of Silly Walks", I nearly did in my comment. What ever happened to the traditional cork, pith helmet? I have used them in extreme heat and they were wonderfully cool and also look cool, like Grace Kelly in Mogambo
