It's a Launch
« on: December 08, 2014, 07:32:06 PM »
A group of rocket enthusiasts launched a porta-potty into the sky Saturday in southwestern Michigan.

The reentry capsule made an arc and almost landed on a spectator’s pickup truck, 2,000 feet away.

It is rumored that the Pilot of the reentry capsule Chuck reported that the capsule was well equipped.

Nice----may have to share this with all my rocket friends.
Life may not be the party we hoped for---but while we're here--we might as well dance..........
