Total impulse expended: 1,037.45 Newton-seconds, like a partial J motor. There were two clustered flights (#16, #17.) and no multi-stage flights. There were 16 families for a total of 17 rocketeers. There were also many, many visitors with us today. Approximately 50 people attended this launch, and about half of them were youth.
Thanks again to our hosts, James and Tricia, for letting us use their field.
