Junkyard wars just had the final – and their task was something that was close to my heart – they needed to build rockets to bring a large egg back to earth. Unfortunately they were provided with rocket motors so they whole thing was not as hard as it could have been for them. The winner used three smaller motors with a very thing rocket.

This is the sort of thing that I would love to try one day – although I would want to get a bit higher than the 1000 feet or so that these rockets got to. Getting something into Orbit would be more fun – but I am not sure how realistic that goal is. I suspect that using satellites will be my limit rather than actually building one.

Anyway I will keep this entry short… I have some things I need to get done for tomorrow morning, and I would prefer not to do too much work on my birthday.
