    My first ever Estes rocket is still orbiting the Earth. I spent days building it and perfecting it’s paint job, only to put too powerful a rocket motor in it the VERY FIRST time I launched it. I was one devastated 12 year old!

    We would designate 1 kid to keep an eye on where it went down. Of course, all watched, but he stayed at the launch site and kept his eye on the spot. If the recovery crew came back without it, he could point and say, “Just right of that house, behind the big tree.” We still lost one now and then.

    I knew a guy who was a Range Safety Officer. He said he had blown up almost a half billion dollars worth of government property and has the videos to prove it.

    In high school, a friend of mine, now Prof. Charles C. Weems, built a model rocket out of a large tube from wrapping paper, back when the tubes were 3 or 4 inches across. He couldn’t get balsa wood for the nose cone in large enough blocks, so he carved the nose cone out of solid pine. He mounted four of the largest model rocket engines they made in the tube, and rigged a parachute behind the nose cone, per usual model rocket practice. Well, the thing went up, up, up… but he forgot to seal around the engines, and the chute ejection charge blew out the back, rather than ejecting the chute. It came down, down, down and buried the nose cone four inches into the dirt, and the cardboard tube he used for the body completely unraveled. It was an impressive crash, one worthy of NASA…

    And Rover will find it. Couldn’t have gone very far. Maybe in to the neighbor’s yard, lol!

    I’d assume he’d want to retrieve it somehow. Wouldn’t he want to launch it again?

    Rover is the retriever but sometimes someone locates and someone else retrieves.
