I have to admit, it was pretty exciting. True, I was NASA’s live feed of launches, but I haven’t seen anything in person since our 6th grade rocketry section in science class. Even little E thought it was great.

The rocket completed three missions until it went missing.

Total cost of this craft if you were to buy the materials in stores: $8ish? I don’t know how much that air costs.
