Blast Off

Having astronomy as a school subject for our daughter this year, we decided to build a rocket for a little hands-on experiment.  Rather than opt for the water rocket option suggested in our daughter's textbook, we opted for the more explosive variety.

Enter the Taser.  Estimated altitude: 1100 feet.

A successful launch.  A successful flight.  A successful parachute deployment.  A successful wind, carrying our spacecraft into the next county.

Oh well.  It was a blast (pun intended) while it lasted!
