  1. 🚀 Oh, joy! Another gloriously convoluted #simulator where rocket science becomes everyone’s hobby... because clearly, everyone needs 50 variables to launch a bottle rocket. 🤓💥 If you ever wanted to spend hours in a user manual while dreaming of virtual flight, #OpenRocket is the mind-numbing way to go! 📚✨

  2. For anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about but is interested anyway, almost 3 years ago I starting trying to design from scratch 3D printed model rockets to carry a small video camera and altitude logger while remaining as small and light a possible.

    I spent quite a bit of time fiddling around in FreeCAD and OpenRocket and 3D printing prototype parts trying to come up with something that could carry the payload while being both light enough to fly well and tough enough to survive the flight. Eventually this resulted in a series of lights in late 2022, and here are the results: youtube.com/watch?v=s4I2bufpGQc
