Phil's class was shooting off rockets as part of a project, so Adam and I decided to go along to watch since it was such a nice day - in the high 50s.
Here is the rocket Phil made. He let me choose the colors, so I chose purple and yellow, of course, for the Vikings. Those are range charts in the background. I have no idea what they mean, but apparently it helps them know what angles to use when shooting the rocket off.
Our friend Andy let his daughter Sarah push the launch button for his rocket. Future rocketeer?
Phil getting his set up to launch. These guys are serious! They use a protractor to get the angle right.
Phil with the countdown...3...2...1...blast off!
Phil's rocket successfully launched multiple times and needed only minimal repair between launches.
Speaking of future rocketeers, Adam was officially named the youngest member of the launch team. He was quite impressed with the whole ordeal.
