The motor was going to be the CTI 98 3grain M2505 White Thunder but the shipping clerk improperly loaded the travelling magazine. So then it was going to be the CTI 98 3 grain M1520 Blue Streak but there were…   Read more»

No worries Warren and don’t bother – the Hybrid GSE and tank have been removed from the trailer. The demand for usage has not justified the expense and extra weight.Huge thanks to ED and the Dawson’s for hosting another Sunday…   Read more»

According to the previews for Apollo 18, there may already be burial plots available on the moon for the conspiracy theorists and followers of non-science – pronounced non sense.

Amazing what can be done with Photoshop! I tried finding the landing spots on Goggle Earth – nothing. Just goes to show ya….

Huge thanks to our esteemed volunteers for jumping in. Details for a cleanup/prep party will follow soon as to when and where but basically it’s an emptying of the trailer – organizing, charging batteries, charging fire extinguishers, fixing items, cleaning…   Read more»

Outstanding! Screaming for upscale….. do you know where the CP/CG are?

Glad it all worked out! There’s a notable photo in the Daily Camera. NCR members have always been quick to help when we can. Thanks.

Most awesome – thank you. I’ve been trying to work out a way to do this event and everything else slated for Wednesday. Go easy on the kids!

Time for a critical mindset change. I’m excited to see what happens next. The adventure continues…..Great website, BTW. There will be more tears of joy and sorrow in the coming months but I am confident that the Human pressence on…   Read more»

Might help explain why we haven’t seen or heard from Scott Evans in a while. Mother Nature is one feisty bitch. Sincerely hope repairs happen quickly and correctly.

Wow, that’s amazing! Love playing with the camera positions and the auto-rotate. Yup, I could fly one of those!

A good rule of thumb is 1.5 x out the predicted altitude. I usually don’t even start really looking until I’ve gotten out that far. For that matter, I’ll wander around for an hour or so and then give up…   Read more»

Pity Dave didn’t try his L2 on Saturday – the bear would have probably left you guys alone. And the drunks around the campfire would have had more to talk about. Great time!

Yes on “window” opportunities for both Saturday and Sunday – to be arranged on site as needed. So far, several projects looking up… Can’t speak for the TAPS but understood James Russell will be there if needed. JW has been…   Read more»

For anyone planning to go to LDRS or that might happen to be in Hutchinson, KS – there’s a “Blackbird” at the Cosmosphere. Seen the one at the Air & Space Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. Absolutely worth the wonder!

I’m thinking the place is just over Wilkerson Pass – RoundMountain Campground.

Yes a Port-a-Pottie has been ordered up for delivery Friday evening for the campers.

The trailer remains parked where left upon return from the June event. County Rd 122 should be mostly in good shape. County Rd 45 has a few spots that are dicey but should still be passable if given the chance…   Read more»

Thanks Bear! The earlier the better – looking to go active at 8 AM. Looks like some of us folks are camping Friday night so if that’s a possibility, all the better.

Regarding the July launch – this weekend has shaped up to be a larger than life gathering for High Skies in July so I really hope there are a few extra volunteers to help make the launch run smoothly. We’ll…   Read more»
