Hello Hello Hello - do you read me?
We are coming to you from Mission Control, Berkeley, CA, where we have (very) recently been introduced to the joys of model rocketry! Today was our first launch day after our purchasing, assembly, and ornamentation day yesterday. All in all, things went far better than expected and we have a lot of videos to present, so let's get started!
After some debate (and only a cursory wistful glance around the model train section of the hobby store), Emmett decided that this momentous and wonderful day was the day he would break free from his usual predictable, rail-centered hobbies and venture forth into worlds unknown, hobbi-rifically speaking...
And of course, as is so often the case we can only stand (again) in awe of Emmett for taking this one small step for fashion, and one giant leap for comedy- well played, flyboy!
After proper(?) outfitting (??), we were ready to set off to the launch pad, with proper musical accompaniment...
Happily, we had a fantastic launch, and a magnificent time, arboreally interrupted (but only briefly) by some unexpectedly stiff breezes...
And (dare we say it?), by our third and fourth launches, space travel had begun to seem almost routine...
But a rocket launch somehow still has the magic to stir the soul... our fourth launch even attracted our first "groupie"...
and after a total of four successful launches (with four recoveries), it looks like we have a new hobby in the family!
