blike Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 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. The Camera: Stripped Down Camera: Rocket Layout: Rocket Without Nose Cone Videos (right-click, save target as): Launch 1 Launch 2 Vidcaps From Launch: Rough ejection charge One frame later... there goes the parachute.. There's my car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 "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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Wolfcastle plays atom man, who's catchphrase is 'up and atom', he keeps on saying it as 'Up and at them'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the simpsons, one of the most popular things in the history of popular culture, may allow people to recognise simpsons quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasori Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 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!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
