October 2012 ROCK Launch

A Month Without Rockets
We were out of town for the ROCK launch at the beginning of the month. Even if we had been in town, the launch was scrubbed because the field was flooded.
Before we went out of town, I hurt my foot when I lost my balance while carrying some stuff downstairs from our office. After we returned from the trip, I visited the doctor. An x-ray showed that I had broken one or both of the bones around the joint in my big toe.
Even though it’s nothing life threatening and is unlikely to affect me once it heals, it really hurt! And, I discovered that riding in a car for any length of time caused it to hurt even worse. So I was forced to also miss the NEFAR and TTRA launches this month. Both launch sites are about 1 and 1/2 hours drive from our home.
I’m looking forward to the local launches in October!
JonRocket.com Will Not be at July NEFAR Launch
Just a quick note to say that we won’t be at the NEFAR launch on Saturday, July 14. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
We Are Planning to Be at the June 16 TTRA Launch
The weather forcast for Saturday, June 16, 2012, is looking good and JonRocket.com plans on attending the TTRA launch near Plant City, FL, on that day. The launch is a two-day affair this weekend, but we will, most likely, only attend the launch on Saturday.
We Will NOT Be at the NEFAR Launch on Saturday June 9
Unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating and something else has come up to prevent us from attending the NEFAR launch this month.
We’ll try to make it next month.
JonRocket.com Goes Mobile
Look for the JonRocket.com trailer at launches in the Central Florida region.
We attend the ROCK launches in Oviedo, FL; the NEFAR launches in Bunnell, FL; and the TTRA launches in Plant City, FL. Since, we’re not able to attend all of the launches, please Contact Us if there’s something you need from us at a specfic launch.
We stock a collection of rocketry supplies including single-use motors, igniters, small parachutes, and other things you may need on-site. We don’t generally bring kits or parts to launches. Be sure to Contact Us before the launch if you’d like us to bring anything special.
We accept cash and major credit cards at launches.
