Model Forum / General / Rockets / November 2003

I noticed on the saverocketrynow website that the raffle prizes have been
distributed into 23 prizes.  I don't think anyone has complained yet, so
I'll start  :-)
Can someone explain the logic of that?  It seems that we could make a lot

Maxim magazine rocks.  Maxim has a listing for Discovery's Rocket Challenge
in the Main Events "Hot Zone" on page 81.
For those of you that don't get Maxim...hello!?, HELLO?!  Wake up and go buy
a copy.  One of life's essentials for guys to keep their sanity :)

Compliments of Matt Drudge:
"The investigation of strip club owner Michael Galardi and numerous
politicians appears to be the first time federal authorities have used
the Patriot Act in a public corruption probe.

Has anybody noticed that a Full Moon is due on Nov.9th, the day they show
the Rocket Challenge....? I wonder if any planets or stars are also in
alignment?

types.
Question:  What is the average loaded weight of an H150 for various
types/brands of motors?

After hearing CT screech in horror over a $300 lens I selected this one
at random:

several members have reported problems posting, with "undeliverable"
messages returned, but apparently successful posts.  Yet I have seen
no aRocket posts after 2:37 PM EST today.
I'm speculating that the ATFE is establishing an intercept to moderate

BoosterVision was proud to be able to demo SkyRipper System's new 38mm H150
Hybrid motor system last month at the MIS launch put on by JMRC and the
Hybrid work of Scott Miller of SFSM Industries providing nitrous and GSE for
all the JMRC launches.

They need a small rocket only to carry a small atom bomb based on plutonium !
They need an even smaller one to carry bilogical or chemical weapons !
So never sell anything to an Arab!

Hope this is new information to the group...

According to this article, RPGs can be purchased for much less money than an
AT reload!

I've got an Olympus D560 that uses XD cards. Is there a device that permits
one to download the card into a memory stick or something and then later
transfer it to my computer when I get home?  I've got a 256 MB memory card
but at max resolution this permits only about 150 photos. ...
