Re: Fly Me to the Moon
Jan 30, 1956: Walt Disney was quoted as saying: "Nobody was more surprised than me when the damn thing suddenly fired up and took off out of the park!"
Well, perhaps and truer quote would be Jan 30, 2016: "Nobody was more surprised than David when he declared this GB entry as done!"
The rocket exhaust plume is a wooden stick smeared with clear silicone caulking and then lightly touched with orange and yellow paint. The smoke, of course, is regular cotton wool.
Thanks for watching.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Excellent !!! The launch image is just great.
If space travel were easy, everyone would do it - congrats on your great effort !!
I'm trying now to re-program the satellite from over your house, but somebody blasted a rocket off and the smoke trail is in the way ....

Absolutely stunning.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.
