I loved them and used to be able to shoot them off at a local school. Years later I took my son to shoot them off there. A lot had changed the woods were turned into a development. We shit off a 6' rocket and a gust of wind grabbed it. Took it over a soccer field, two baseball fields, and a street or two into the new development. I was worried about recovering the rocket cut my son loved it. So we went looking for it and found a nice black gentleman mowing his yard with his son playing with it. I asked for it back his words were "I'm black I thought Obama was targeting me with a drone. I didn't think he would do this to me." It was funny in the moment anyway

Thanks for putting the effort into this post. It's helped organize some of my thoughts around rockets. I remember watching the Tesla launch hard to believe it was 4 years ago.

Model rockets (Estes) were a hobby of mine as a child. I wonder if they have any SpaceX models. I think I saw a few in the past from other suppliers but they were pretty pricey. Off to Google I go

She is 7 but has been asking for a few years now. I plan on this being a room to suit her age as well as something to grown into finding Easter eggs if you will . Start with paint, decals, an interesting piece to gain/keep interest and add in from there

I wish mine were too bro. They all get a grown up room with a theme they choose for their birthday. She chose something I've always been interested in just followed loosely. I'm on a crash course now but at least I have till May.

Didn't think of that and just happen to have a short throw laser projector in the closet. I could create a playlist of ever changing scenes. I guess I could download full res images from NASA?
