2022-03-19Mercury Redstone 4  Flight First flight for this rocket and I was nervous because I didnt want t' damage it as it took some time t' build. Begad!

Orange Bullet  Flight So this be t' second Orange Bullet I've built, me hearties, t' first one was launched and never recovered as it landed in snow and trees, however this time I managed t' recover it from both flights.
