Launching Rockets at the Park

Todd brought two rockets to the park to launch with the kids. He's had these rockets since he was a kid, and always wants to bring them places so finally we did it. These first two videos are of a rocket he made.

... about 2 seconds pass between that video and this one ...


There was a stow away parachute man stuck inside the rocket, making it off balance - hence the turn and rocketing back toward the earth. The parachute man didn't make it - he melted.

So Todd brought out the other rocket. I missed the countdown and takeoff, but this video starts about a second later.

We never saw it again.

It was a rough day for rockets.
