Grampa's Rocket Day

I'm a father of 15 and a Grampa of 67 grandchildren (so far). We like activities that bring everyone together, so this year we 'launched' Grampa's Rocket Day, and it was a wonderful success! Everyone learned how to prepare for launch and recover their own Rocket... parents as well as kids! We all agreed it will become an annual event.

Great.

Great rocket motor for 3d printed rockets. The explosion at the end can blow up the print sometimes.
