Successful verticle DC&M Launch
I finally got around to loading Gabe and I's launch. We decided about a month ago to use our waterrocket launchpad to do a Mentos and Diet Coke rocket launch. No throwing the bottle on the ground, no chance of it coming back and harming people or property. It Did launch over some powerlines, though. This was after work out at the Astronaut Hall of Fame. The following videos are taken with the Google camera from the KOP, step by step.

Recovery
And just for the fun of it, we decided to drop some diet coke and mentos from the roof of the Astronaut Hall of Fame. Mentos Deathdrop
Enjoy!

Search is amazing. Give it a try. It's 10,000 lines of code that gets lonely if it's not played with often. - Brandon Martus [more]
