Spring Festivus Cancelled

Unfortunately, due to both the weather reports for Mansfield and the conditions in the mountain passes, WAC’s March launch has been cancelled. This means that I’ll have to wait until next month’s launch to get any new photos up.

In the meantime, I’ll work on adding to the Element Collection page, as I have acquired some new samples since the last time the page was updated.

Element Collection Page and Some Rocket Building

As pointed out in my last post, I have changed the theme of this website. Not only does this change make it blend in more with my YouTube channel and SmugMug account, it also makes it possible to display the portal for my newly-created Element Collection page. I have three elements up at the moment (hydrogen, radium, and polonium), but have several more that will be added as time goes on. This page replaces my “radioactive collection” feature, and will help with my goal of making this site more about my scientific exploits in general along with the rockets and air shows.

Speaking of rockets, I have started construction on the next member of my high-power fleet. Being a lightweight rocket with a 54mm motor mount (the largest I’ve put in anything to date), I’m planning on using it to break my personal best altitude. I’ll post more details when time allows.
