Chris,

Thanks, again, for taking the time and effort on your live coverages.

You are good people.

BTW, do you have a diagram or other pictures of the Nothing rocket? Is it intended to glide back?

as always Chris, kudos for an excellent job well done.

I'll see what I can do once I unpack and recover :-)

The rumor I heard was East coast, possibly a repeat of NARAM-35.

ok 48 maay be in tucson or phoenix....

anybody down there want to put me up on the couch for a week? or i can bring a sleeping bag and cot and hang out in your basement... arizona houses do have basements don't they?

49 maybe ?

shockie B)

Nope.

Why is it that houses in the south don't have basements?

ted: I live in Ky , in tornado alley and we have basements, to use as shelters.. you would think in hot climates like AZ that houses there would have basements too, as it would be cooler down there...

I asked, and was told that the ground is so hard, you can't dig, and would have to blast.

But that's OK, I've got an LEUP :-)

Do you buy it by the drum? 8-)

Depends on where you are. KY and MO have basements. TX does not. It's largely a function of the soil. The red clay in KY is a good building material, and is quite compatible with concrete basements. The black gumbo clay in TX expands and contracts too much with the seasons and can crush a basement. TN has shifting soil, too. I think they have basements in the Georgia and the Carolinas, tho.

next year is gonna be interesting. 2500 miles 42 hours driving which likely means about 3 days with sleep cycles (probably 4 days to get back home) ouch :-)

I like the day of the week labels instead of the day 1-8. I wonder where that idea came from.

I hope you're wrong about the dates. That week tends to conflict with summer school. My wife probably wouldn't be able to make it. Neither would Tom Beach, and a few other regulars.

If the dates go deeper into August, a whole different bunch of folks will have a problem. There's even a current NYTimes article on the subject:

hope i am wrong ? those date are virtually identical the the last several narams ??? last few days of july first week of august ? same as pretty much all 8 narams i have been too ? this year is started july

30th next year 29th (standard calendar shift till leap year)

Bob I have been wanting to do that for some time. it just never dawned on me to have the folder names both numbers and letters :-) ie naming the day friday is hard because there are 2 fridays ??? I finally got around to it ie I had to restructure and redo the entire template system for the site. I was "in" the mood and found a good tool (buttongenerator.com) and your mentioning of it was enough to push me over the edge to finally just do it :-)

I made all my buttons by hand pixel by pixel :-) this button generator is part of what got me to do it reduced the work load quite a bit :-)

SO do you like it ? once I am done with it it will probably remain static for a few years so now or never :-)

Nice job!

I especially liked the 5 engine Saturn V, really nice!

I think I've seen one of those before. ; )

The 5 days of competition usually fall in the first full week of August, unless they have to change the schedule for some reason. The weekend sport launch doesn't count, since it used to be jsut a 5 day event.
