It is Rocket Day in #minnesota ! Join us on a sod farm in North Branch for the biggest launch of the year. The College and University teams will also be back from summer break and they will start testing their competition rockets. Lots of high power rockets, the waiver will be open to 20,000 ft.

We also will have the annual night launch starting at 7.30 pm.

Mashable: Track NASA’s Roman Space Telescope on its long cruise to deep space. “As the new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope heads for deep space, the public can follow its three‑month trip in near-real time with NASA’s online tracker. The spacecraft launched on Sunday, Aug. 30, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. It’s now cruising on its own toward its final orbit […]

I have been building rockets with a friend's son since he was 4. Now 12 years old he won a purple ribbon (Grand Champion) at the #minnesota state fair for his slightly enlarged "Big Bertha". A friend and I made a parts set and he assembled and painted it. The original is an #estes rocket from the 60s, a little over a foot tall. His version is a bit over 8 ft. We will fly it next weekend.

Todays #mayke is functional. With a passion for #rocketry you often end up transporting delicate tubes for builds... I tend to chuck these in other tubes for protection.. Hence today, after a bit of #FreeCAD I've printed some threaded end caps for this postal tube. Might adorn it with a few more features and maybe paint!
