Sunday Video 9

It may be titled Mexican NASA but it's actually at a Bamboo Festival in Thailand. I know this because I've got an old boss who's son is married to a Vietnamese girl in Saigon and every couple years he goes there to visit and tour SE Asia. He sent me a video of this event a couple years ago.

  4. Nothing Mexican about this. The signs and spoken language are in Thai and this is a rather well-known video from northeast Thailand. They have had a yearly rocket festival to help kickstart the rainy season for many decades and this is just an extreme example. Pretty impressive.

  7. Home made, store bought? I want one, totally cool smoke trail, wonder about a nite launch? If anybody knows where to source these let me know, please. my hometown has a pretty good 4th of July fireworks, be great to launch this from a boat off shore from town (imagine trying to clean boat afterwards}.

  8. Impressive. Built up enough speed to actually get a noticeable Doppler shift.

  10. That's actually brilliant. Reminds me of the Rocket On Rotor Helicopter design. I had to look it up to remember what they called it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRrYdIqrnWY
