December 22, 2019 2019 Holiday / end of the year show
It's our End of the year / holiday wrap up show, and we chose this one to share and respond to some of the e-mails from you, including an interesting theory behind the collapsed "stuffer tube" phenomenon CG mentioned in the previous episode.

We also dig into a fun rabbit-hole discussion over a couple of our camera pics for rocket photography, being proud of your rule stickler "old timers" in your local club, launching and recovering rockets on a frozen lake, and more!

The "infamous" stuffer tube. The collapse happened just above the motor mount.
