[DeTomaso] NPC On-Board Rocket Video

[John Taphorn]

That was way cool

We launched Estes three stage rockets at a Pantera gathering a few years 
back.  It didn't fly as high, yet, lots of drama after the first couple of 
launches when lower stages failed to release.  They had swelled from  a 
previous water landing.

We need to do that again.
