The rocket launch

Several people have asked me how the launch of our baking soda / vinegar rocket went (see my previous post, How I Spent My Day Off).

I have no good pictures of the rocket in air; however, it worked quite well. My son was really excited about it. We launched it three times and got it up to about 50 or 60 feet. I’ll bet we’ll get it higher on the next launch.

After we repair the fuselage tube, that is.

How I spent my day off

My son and I built a rocket fueled on baking soda & vinegar.

We haven’t fired it yet — we missed the weekend launch window due to weather.
