Orange Rocket Slo-Mo
Rocket Launch 04/04/2020
It started overcast but turned out beautiful and 75 degrees. Ken, Kevin and I had some great launches, fun day. The rocket above is a Kit Bash by Kevin of an Estes Argent and Partison kit. He calls it the Silver Surfer and it is flying on a F63-10R.
Rocket Launch 03/21/2020
Another great day, 74 degrees and partly cloudy skies, yet a little windy at times. Kevin started the day with a successful flight of his R2D2 Rocket. Later in the day R2 would not be that lucky.
Rocket Launch 03/07/2020
What a great day! A little windy at times, but not to bad, cloudless blue sky and 57 degrees. I captured two more catos in photos and had some great launches.
NASA Mathematician Dies at 101
[From Wikipedia] Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson (August 26, 1918 – February 24, 2020) was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights.[2] During her 35-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks. The space agency noted her “historical role as one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist”.[3]

Blue sky and beautiful day for a rocket launch!
Rocket Launch (First of 2020)
I flew some rockets today with Ken and Kevin. Had a great time even though it was very chilly. The sun finally appeared about 5 PM (as we were wrapping it up). I did capture this exciting CATO of a Estes C-11-3 in my Estes Maniac.
