Ontopic Mission to Uranus

[MacG]

Neat, but not sure I understand that hobby though. It just goes up so high that you can't see it, then two minutes later you get to try and find it. Then it's done.

It would be interesting if the rockets exploded though.

Nah, my big ones never go up that high.

It's like shootin' guns, except occasionally something truly unexpected happens like an explosion.

edit: You should see some of the rockets the guys with the certifications fly. One's got a 1/3 scale V2 (so, 15 feet tall) that runs on a peroxide fuel engine and everything. There's another guy who plays with hybrid motors that use bizarre things for the fuel. The last time I went, he had milled a chub of salami to use for fuel with nitrous as the oxidizer. Smelled great when it launched, but holy crap, the burning meat chunks!

That shit is insane and I don't intend to ever do it again

Goddamn clown teeth...
