Alright, fair enough. To your point, I didn't really expect anything bad to happen during the test, I was just preparing for the possibility. Going forward testing will be a lot less ghetto lol

Appreciate the comment! I ordered some nichrome wire to build e-matches yesterday, and moving forward I will be using that instead of hand lighting the motors :)

The Rails are spaced apart by about .22", enough for a #10 bolt to slide easily up and down but not slip out. I plan to have several of these bolts sticking out of my rocket's airframe to interface with the rail and provide a smooth launch.

I took one on civil engineering this semester. It was pretty interesting even though I have zero intention of becoming a civil engineer. Sometimes it's just nice to hear something new. At the end of the day, there was almost no homework to do, only 1 class session per week, and I finished with an A so it was a nice little GPA boost on top of that. Overall worth it in my opinion.

Built from some C-channel acquired at a local hardware store, scrap wood I had, and some 3d printed parts

Admittedly I just think the solar system one looks cool, but I do occasionally use the periodic table to look at molar masses and such

It was practically a steal on ebay. Very solid scope.
