Summary
| Description |
They arrived today from Rocket-Santa! Whooa-ho-ho-ho! The Falcon9 model on the right is available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/NEW-SpaceX-Falcon-Dragon-Flying/dp/B006GX14R8" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Amazon</a>, and I plan to built it for a local launch. Although it says the largest motor it can take is an Estes C6-5, I will probably try an Aerotech <a href="http://www.valuerockets.com/product_details.aspx?pid=2&itemid=3" rel="noreferrer nofollow">D10-7</a> with twice the <a href="http://www.valuerockets.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">punch</a> in the same volume. The Falcon9 Heavy on the left is a contractor's model for display here. It is being prepared for a launch at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=44124348109@N01&q=vandenberg">Vandenberg AFB</a>. Next month, I hope to watch the Falcon9 launch that will dock with the ISS. From today’s <a href="http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20120105/NEWS02/301050045/Space-station-crew-excited-by-visit-from-Dragon-capsule" rel="noreferrer nofollow">news</a>: “Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are psyched about a mission next month that will open a new era of commercial cargo deliveries to the orbital outpost. U.S. flight engineer Don Pettit likened the arrival of the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the pioneering opening of the American West in the 19th century. “It’s sort of the first of many wagons coming up here to bring us supplies,” Pettit said Wednesday. “I think for all of us, we’re very excited about it,” added U.S. astronaut Dan Burbank, the current station commander.”
