LDRS

3 July 2000

LDRS actually runs from 1 through 4 July 2000; I was only able to make it up on Monday, 3 July.

Here's the mess of photos I took today; captions appear where warranted.

Shann's rocket was a little slow to launch. Thus the picture of nothing.

There was some question to whether the right chutes came out or whether the rocket would become one with the ground.
