Do you KNOW how much I've dreamt of doing this!?!?! This and making one of those really cool Buck Rogers ships. I used to day dream in class all the time about how to make one out of plywood and other materials.

I like the crowd noise, "Ooooh! Oh. Oh."

Sucks for whoever built that thing.

i guess if you're tht into model rocketry, you are used to that kind of reaction. i remember building, painting, designing rockets that i was sure would work to have them blow up after takeoff... :-\
