How to Lose a Rocket, or Well Darn It!

Our exchange student wanted to see one of my rockets fly. So, I send my Big Betty on her maiden flight. She flew wonderfully and our exchange student was pleased. But the wind was a bit more than I had thought and the rocket landed in the nearby bean field. I should have gave the rocket more of an angle or a smaller parachute. I had hoped to take it up to the Lutheran camp my brother works at and fly it with him today as well. Oh well, with the way this one went up I'll just have to buy another Big Betty.

Sorry you lost the rocket... but I'm glad Sabrina got to see it in its one blaze of glory. :)
