Rocket Launching of
August 03, 2014 |
 |
|
|
|
|
The Silverfish lifts off, powered by an E20-7.
Inside is Parachute Man with a camera on his back.
The flight will end in disaster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nooooo!!! Where is the parachute?! |
What the heck are those things? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
It's Parachute Man! The other "thing"
was the rockets parachute. |
At the crash site. |
|
|
How's my flying? Call 1-800-EAT-DIRT |
It took a nice core sample. |
|
|
|
|
The impact knocked the SD card out of a
camera. |
We'll take her home and fix her up. Then
I might work on the rocket. |
|
|
|
|
We found Parachute Man in
another field. We never found the rocket's
parachute. |
He was missing his camera! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This sequence,
taken from the rocket, shows Parachute Man losing his camera. |
|
|
|
| It made for a
cool movie! |
|
|
Next, this nice model blasts off. |
Unlike the Sliverfish, its parachute
deployed. |
It's going to land in another field. |
|
|
|
Now for the maiden voyage of the new PGRL.
(Parachute Guy Rocket Launcher) |
Parachute Guy says he is GO. Cabin
pressure is holding. |
|
| |
| |
|
|
| LIFTOFF of the
PGRL, powered by an Estes C6-3. |
| |
|
Coming down, into the corn. |
This woman followed me into the corn,
taking pictures of me.
I was wondering what Andrea was thinking about that. |
|
|
| |
|
We found the PGRL in about ten minutes. |
It turned out the woman (Hillary
Petrozziello) is a
photographer
for a Philadelphia newspaper. She took over 600 pictures, and
we were all interviewed by the reporter to the right! |
