Darin from Synacor brought his kids. Eric isn't one of his kids. |

We thought the kids would love riding in the Rhino but for some reason it really freaked them out |

And off they go! To the launch field! |

Eric driving the Rhino |

Here we are at Spaceport Eden. Otherwise known as the field across from the Scheribers' house |

Getting the first rocket in place |

Everyone looking for the rocket (and trying to catch it!) |

Eric did some quick math to estimate the altitude we got out of the rocket |

An itty bitty rocket ready to go |

Darin waiting for the next launch |

The little rocket was super fast and flew out of the camera frame before I even realized it had launched! |

My pre-made rocket worked perfectly! |

There it is! |

Looks like the parachute deployed! |

Eric ran after it and successfully caught it |

Modifying the Amazon rocket to make the engine fit properly |

And away it goes! This monster was quite a bit slower but was still fun |

Bradley runs after the Amazon rocket |

Catch it! |

On this launch the red and silver rocket took off at a sort of strange angle. This was partially on purpose (to counteract wind) but I think we overdid it.. |

Now this looks like a bad idea.... |

And indeed it was! I made sure I was behind the Rhino during this launch.. |

The Amazon coming down after a successful parachute deployment. You can see the (biodegradable!) wadding falling above it |

Touchdown! |

And a picture of the day. I figured my space Brony shirt would be appropriate for today's activities! |
