Hey man! Been a while since I've seen you around here. Glad to see you've been preparing new rockets. I can't wait to see what you've been up to!

We're not making as rapid progress as we would like. We've got a good collection of materials accumulated thanks to some luck and some generous people. There's no instruction manual for what we're doing so we have to take it a little at a time and practice every step of the way. One thing we have worked out is a new staging design that nobody ever considered before . It has one problem that needs to be worked out but we might make due with it the way it is because a failure doesn't hurt anything except the altitude. If we make our chute strong enough to carry the weight of the whole rocket we should be okay if the stager fails to operate.

We don't want to screw up at this stage of the game!
