Earlier this week, Traci and I built our own rockets and launched them in the back yard. The rockets were made completely from scratch, only about ½-inch long, and only flew a few feet high. It was kinda fun to just play around with them, but it got me wanting to build an actual model rocket. I was really into that stuff in fifth grade, when I was in Young Astronauts, but I haven’t done much with it since. I’ve got plenty of materials to make my own rocket right now, except for some balsa wood for the fins, which I haven’t been able to find around here so far. I’ll get around to doing it someday, that is if I ever finish fixing my car.
