I'm so pleased when careful measuring pays off. Not only did it fit effortlessly up the bulkhead, it had 4 inches to spare in the Rav4. I drove and my mom kept a check on softening any jars when manhole covers were unavoidable. "I'm truly sorry officer. I didn't intend on causing a head-on collision. But you see, I have this rocket on board and I didn't want it to bang around!"Wouldn't have wanted that to happen, would I?
Mom and I transported the rocket into the sanctuary and parked it out of the way of setting up ladders. All the help (A, S, C, M, J, E, M, and even G and D) did a fantastic job in seeing that the rocket made it from the cellar 'space center' to flying.
Houston, we have lift-off!
Of course I just had to sprawl on my back underneath the Cosmicventure as it flew overhead.Several hours have passed. The rocket is soaring, I hope. Will I be able to sleep tonight wondering if those hooks that the wire is strung between are holding? Not a chance. I better go check it out.
The rocket is speeding through the universe!It's been a blast!

Woooohoooooo! Rocket-powered Toyota!
Hope everyone had/has as much fun with it as it looks like they should...
Hey, man of many talents!
Pretty cool, huh? I think I may have to go look at it every day. Feels odd to know it's down there hangin' out.
WOW!
This is fantastic!!
Unbelievable - so realistic. Thanks, Deb!
All your ideas, Mary. I just built a rocket.
Glad you like it.
Yes, Deb, that really is good.
It is much more impressive now I see it in orbit. The shots in your workshop didn't create the true atmosphere. :)
Ten out of ten!
Top of the class!
Thanks Uncle B. I love doing that king of stuff.
Well, there I go again. Typo followed by sending. Watched that 'g' steal 'd's place and it was too late to stop him.
I keep coming back to the pictures to see if the rocket is staying up! Duh
So far, so good! I'll keep coming back to admire your creation and, as a good "crew" member, will continue to check on staying up status via these great photos from yesterday. . I can't make it down to church until tonight! :-)
When this is over, whatever will we do to amuse ourselves!
And yes, I know I am being nonsensical but I chalk it up to the humidity and I am amusing myself no end! This has been a great fun project.
I'm so impressed with the engineering that went into it -- you had completely thought out how to get it up there and everyone just had to follow directions!
Umm, I must disguise my engineering insecurities well.
Let's just hope that it can return safely!!!!!! Far too many people just hanging around!
I say, let it stay in orbit for ever, wherever. Done, works, done with. Besides, I have pictures and they are much easier to store!
