Rocket Challenge comments

They showed one an hour, just like we paid for.

First one was probably about 45 mins in; second was about 30 mins in.

I saw it and it was my favorite of all the flights but I would loved to have seen George's Shuttle.

Did anyone detect the hybrid error?

Poor Bob.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the 3 hours. Can't wait for the season to begin. Let's just invent some new things........... even in smaller scale. Which was not in the show's. Thing's that MOST ppl can afford.

Keep her.

The X-30 was AWESOME. I didn't think she would glide, but I was glad to see that I was wrong! Congrats to the X-30 team!

A ton and a half?

Aside from goverments and large corporations... no.

Yeah, I noticed that. Liquid Hydrogen, then liquid Oxygen. What's the matter, couldn't the guy pronounce Nitrous Oxide?

Awesome shows! I loved it! And they did a good job of explaining the details and emphasizing the safety aspects.

In all three episodes they referred to the entire event as "amateur rocketry". A minor quibble though, since the phrase doesn't mean the same thing to the general public that it does to the rest of us.

They also used the word "detonate" to describe one cato. Otherwise, there were very few errors in the shows.

Or laughing gas? Joel. phx

I saw one each hour.

I heard that too. I think it was due mostly to editing more than to lack of knowlege. It sounded to me like a couple different conversations got pasted together.

It is the only brand name you rememberd and posted about so it worked.

Also now that you know how much commercials cost, I wonder what the markup is on a gallon of water or powder with a trace amount of chemicals in it?

And that LDRS is the largest amateur rocketry "competition".

I heard a reference to one model with "11000 pounds of thrust", and another to ammonium nitrate propellant (in black powder motors). The terminology was a bit fast and loose at times.

It turned into liquid hydrogen at one point!

Wow, that *sucks*. Shouldn't there be a discount for having your commercials "circumvented"? This practice could have severely limited the exposure - maybe reaching a third or less of the people who would have ordinarily seen it.
