I (somewhat) successfully completed the first two launches of my video rocket project! The only problem is that the parachutes failed to properly deploy during both launches.

 

I'm currently working on a webpage for it, but for now you can view the pictures and see the video.

"up and atom" was a play on words coined in the mid 1940`s amongst airforce pilots, it`s not a typo, he`s quite correct :)

It's a simpsons reference you goon. When Wolfcastle plays atom man, who's catchphrase is 'up and atom', he keeps on saying it as 'Up and at them'.

and I`m supposed to know that HOW?

 

or anyone else for that matter?

 

Watching the simpsons, one of the most popular things in the history of popular culture, may allow people to recognise simpsons quotes.

Woo-hoo! Those landings look like an exact representation of what would happen if I was the pilot!

 

Oh, and, "Doh, Bart!" (And more importantly, "MmmmMM... Forbidden Donut!")

It's not nuclear, it's nukular. I work in a power station so I know.

 

Is the poop deck what I think it is?
