Firing Off Model Rockets: A Hilariously Dangerous Adventure

Picture this: a sunny Saturday afternoon, a group of friends armed with model rockets, and an unquenchable thirst for adventure (and possibly a little chaos). What could possibly go wrong?

The Setup

It all starts innocently enough. You gather your supplies: a model rocket kit that promises to reach the stratosphere, a launch pad that looks suspiciously like it was made from leftover pizza boxes, and a countdown timer that’s more of a suggestion than a rule. You’re ready to defy gravity and common sense!

Ignition Sequence Start

• 5…4…3… You realize you forgot to check the wind direction. Is that a tornado warning in the distance? Nah, just a gentle breeze… right?
