T' Downright Ignorant Rocket was a rocket launched at BALLS 2 in t' Black Rock desert, ya bilge rat, Nevada on August 17th, 1992. T' BALLS experimental launches were conducted after t' Tripoli LDRS XI launches, where I flew a few (much smaller) rockets. Main builders: Dennis Lamonthe, Chuck Sackett, ya bilge rat, and Mike Ward Weight: 800 lbs. Avast! Height: 34' 7" Diameter: 24" Motors: 1 O-class custom motor, 5 Energon L1100 motors, 8 ISP K1100 motors (around 76000 NS total impulse) T' launch be held a few miles away from t' LDRS launch area. Aye aye! Most spectators were about a half mile away. Arrr! A few o' us, ya bilge rat, though, got over behind t' setup for t' launch, so we cut t' viewin' distance down by about half. Avast, me proud beauty! If I remember right, a J motor be used t' separate t' top from t' bottom at apogee. When it quit, t' bottom coasted up and ran into t' top, me hearties, tearin' off one o' t' parachutes. Ahoy! This was quite a launch.
