This last round went great! Everybody finished their rockets and the paint jobs look amazing as always. It was a beautiful moment watching parents and their children making them together. Unfortunately, Indy’s weather hasn’t been great so the launch has been delayed 4 times. I’m shooting for early January now. That’s going to be a busy month cause right after that I’m starting the next round. Made a lot of connection this past month I’m really excited about!
Quick background: I’m trying to make Indianapolis have the highest rockets per capita in the world! 🚀🌎 I created and run a bootcamp where I teach everyone how to build high power rockets. I recruit volunteers, teach them, and then they help me teach students (ages 8+). Everybody builds, launches and keeps their own rocket. I’m also trying to get as many people certified in high power rocketry as I can. Then they can continue on their own full of inspiration and hopefully become part of humanity’s expansion into space.
Currently at 60/150 rockets and rocketeers towards my April Goal
New goal: 300 by the end of 2026.
I’m also lining up seasons outside Indy, I plan to go nationwide.

This is awesome! I’d totally sign up with my family when you’re in our area.
Where can people go to sign up to volunteer or participate?
That is out of this world!
What engine are you guys using?

This looks awesome. How high do these go?
Dude! This is awesome! I have a 4 year old that loves space and we watch rocket launches on YouTube all the time. I hope you’re still doing this in a few years so I can bring him once he turns 8. Love this!
That is some awesome rockets for a bootcamp! I did a bunch of Estes type kits for scouts and schools back in the day it was great fun. I bet watching their faces light up when see their HPR take off is even better!
Got any videos of these being launched?
