Motor waiting for the booster section to be lowered on too it.

Raising the booster section on to launch pad down the rail.

Stacking the section.....the winds were gusting upto 20mph early in the day....the assembly took a long time.

Started between 6:30 am and 7......early and cold.

First time all of these sections have mated together.

Successful launch....what a crazy day....I have to believe there will be video on the MDRA website

Kinda off topic but did anyone watch new season of trailer park boys when they launched a rocket lmao!

Must've needed some impressive permits to launch it

I’d hate to see the paperwork to make rocket fuel legally.

That is the Apollo programming, written by hand, by Margaret Heafield.
