Water rocket - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

So, my [wife] son bought me a 7 foot water rocket for Father's day. We took it out last night with some friends for a spin. MAN, this thing is FUN FUN FUN.

Here are some shots my wife got of the launches.. nothing spectacular really on the photography side, but they were cool I thought.

Here's the highest she ever caught it off the ground.. I like it even though it is blurry, because you can JUST see my head looking up at it taking off.

Here's one of our friends launching the rocket.

Here is one of me launching... my son has been "whited" out of the picture. (click for actual version)
