The President? As one of 300 million americans, I am willing to kick in five bucks for each member of my family to send the entire Congress along with the first family. We can counter the additional ...

LEO? LEO? Once again, I am starting to get a little lost in the thread here. Clearly, the original mission for us here is not LEO, but LMO! Don't worry Bear, I got your back! This is our Priority t...

thanks for the coffee! What would really help me is if you could shake all of the cans for me WHILE steadying my 394ft extension ladder. What are we gonna use for a launch lug? A 6ft drainage pipe?

ok, first off, I am not a rocket scientist! But I do appreciate the process of trying to get the my head to conceive the size of that motor. So check out nasa's latest and greatest! The rocket sure ...

What can you guys tell me about places to watch the Perseids this August 12/13? There will be no moon to interfere with a darksky site. What are the rules on my family wandering out to the North site...

I live in Longmont within walking distance to Hobby Town. I looked at the bob smith website. That gives me plenty of ideas. I think that I will head over tomorrow and take a closer look.

thanks for the info. I will give it a try. I didn't know that superglue comes as a "gap filler". I will keep you posted. thanks,

how well does it work to mix 1 part wood glue with two parts water to make a sandable, glass-like finish for those of us who want pretty birds?I have been using sanding sealer and am tired of the issu...

I have been teaching rocketry at my school (Mt. Phoenix Community School) in Golden for two years now. I am in the process of applying for a Cannon Grant through the NAR. Because our participants ha...
