Model rockets are awesome, especially the ones with little cameras in the nosecone.

I only have one rocket, in my pocket. I'm sure I would get fired or sued if I started to play with it at work.

I hope it works better than a real patriot missle. haha They just go up and crash into the ground and explode.

We did model rockets in science class in jr high. The teacher inspected all the rockets to make sure we didn't do anything stupid. After he checked them, we took the parachute out and replaced it with a homemade bomb. That was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The teacher was so mad he didn't even know what to do. There really wasn't any evidence left. We just said it must have been a faulty engine. lol

Oh yeah....I need your help with my car stereo one of these days. My new rig has one of those annoying flip face ones that I want to ditch and replace with my MP3 player. Only I want to put it in a locking center consol so it won't get jacked at whistler.

Have fun at your buddy's bachelor party :rolleyes:

[Ice Bullit]

My dad and I used to do the high powr rockets, he has a rocket that takes a I or J motor and I know that they go at least up to P or Q now and have multiple stages controlled by a altimeter. The biggest I have ever flown in G, but it is so fun to watch them fly :D
