I (somewhat) successfully completed the first two launches of my video rocket project! The only problem is that the parachutes failed to properly deploy during both launches.

 

I'm currently working on a webpage for it, but for now you can view the pictures and see the video.

Kewl, I'd be tempted to make two and strap them to my boots.

 

Up and atom.

Up and AT THEM

"up and atom" was a play on words coined in the mid 1940`s amongst airforce pilots, it`s not a typo, he`s quite correct

It's a simpsons reference you goon. When Wolfcastle plays atom man, who's catchphrase is 'up and atom', he keeps on saying it as 'Up and at them'.

and I`m supposed to know that HOW?

 

or anyone else for that matter?

Watching the simpsons, one of the most popular things in the history of popular culture, may allow people to recognise simpsons quotes.

and if one happens to think the program is inane or trivial or just generaly doesn`t like it or the waste of time. what then?

then one is wrong

the day SCIENCE relies upon childrens cartoons is the day I resign!

the simpsons is fundamental in our education that nucular power is perfectly safe.

Nuclear power IS perfectly safe.

And people who don't think so, well they are just communists.

It's not nuclear, it's nukular. I work in a power station so I know.

It looks as if you burnt your parachute on the second one. Whoops!

Woo-hoo! Those landings look like an exact representation of what would happen if I was the pilot!

 

Oh, and, "Doh, Bart!" (And more importantly, "MmmmMM... Forbidden Donut!")

Forbidden Donut? Can I have one?

Is the poop deck what I think it is?

I hope not!
