RE: Porta Potty Rocket

As I was waking up this morning, I was thinking of this project (why?) and realized that a porta-potty would be an appropriate accessory for the industrial area of the model RR.  LOL - goes well with the dumpster.   I did a search and there are tons of models available on the 'usual suspect' sites.  Thanks for the idea.  😉

Funny as always

And hopefully not down the crapper.  

RE: Porta Potty Rocket

Charles, you should post some videos of your launches. I'd enjoy them

@swiss_cheese

I will post a few this week.

Here is the porta-potty flying.  Not the next video, but it proves it flies.

Here is my level 3 flight 76 pound Nike Smoke:

A snitch:

The Nike Smoke above is a 2/3 scale.  I would like to do a full scale.  That would be 16 inches in diameter and 22 feet long.  The one in the photo was 11 inches in diameter and about 14 feet long.  

RE: Porta Potty Rocket

Two things to say, 1) I really liked Nike Smoke, and 2) whats a snitch? I'm not familiar with that.

Thanks for posting the videos, I enjoyed them.

A snitch is an Estes Rocket Corporation kit from about 10 years ago.  It looks like a flying saucer.  I upscaled it.  It was about 20 cm in diameter and I upscaled that to 50 cm.

Some of the progress SpaceX have made on SN15 is amazing

I sat up until 4am watching one of early rocket tests last year.

This launch and landing is amazing, seeing the rockets steer it back down is so cool.

I have watched all of those that are put on line or TV.  I love watching these flights.

The camera view of the launch and landing from Marscam at 8.12 is my favourite, The steering seems most visible from this angle.  A very clever design to steer it back into landing.

Their rates are rather reasonable if you fancy launching something a bit larger 😉  

$1M for 200kg to SSO with additional mass at $5k/kg. 

Wonder how much they will be charging for their proposed civilian flights to space, now that would be one to add to the bucket list.  Not sure I would afford it on my salary though. The general rule for something like this is "if you have to ask how much, you cannot afford it!"
