Puts my Estes "Eggscalibur" model rocket to shame...

I use to have a bunch of model rockets - the Mean Machine was a favorite - over six feet tall and looked like a big pencil going up in the sky. I also had a Phoenix rocket that was modeled after an air-to-air missile. I rigged up a light in the nose cone so we could launch at night and then follow the light. Rockets launching at night are pretty cool. We also use to take a dixie cup with water and put it under the rocket motor so when it launched, it made a bunch of steam.

I remember blowing up my space shuttle in honor of the Challenger.

Fun times with the Big Foot launch pad!
