Rockets, anyone?
That used to be a HUGE hobby of mine. Haven't done anything
with it in
years. I want SO bad to get back into it, and design heavier rockets than
balsa and cardboard. Need a better propellant though - love to try LOX. But
that's not the the real goal that makes me want to get back into it. I want
to program microcontrollers to launch inside of it and regulate movable
control surfaces. I want to paint a huge target on the ground (grass), and
the competition would be to see how close you could get the rocket to target
(and hit) the bullseye. Twould be fun stuff.
