The entire Rocketry Show team head to Cape Canaveral, Florida to cover NARCON 2019.  

CG, Daniel the Rocket n00b together for the first time!

They witness a night time Falcon 9 launch, Gheem and Daniel (The n00b) meet face to face for the first time, and we talk to Peter Alway, author of Rockets of the World, and Chris Michaelson of Oddl' Rockets.

Peter Alway discussed with us his history with Model Rocketry, and his knack for finding detailed blueprints of even the most obscure rockets, which is great for us as he published it all in his book "Rockets of the World", the rocketry bible for anyone interested in creating scale models of military & space rockets.

Chris Michaelson of Oddl' Rockets

Chris amazed us with his talent in making detailed reproductions of rockets, and his never ending fountain of knowledge that can help all of us rocketeers!

Chris' attention to detail is a thing to behold!

Mike Nowak's Saturn V

We also discus Mike Nowak's amazing THREE STAGE Saturn V scale competition rocket!

CG, Gheem, and Daniel the Rocket n00b get together to visit with you, and talk rocket shop talk.

CG has been busily editing through the TONS of audio we have from NARCON 2019, and it's taken over the production time for the show.  As a result, there is a delay in production.   We still have about two weeks of production to do before we roll out the first NARCON 2019 episode, so in the meantime, we decided to pick up our microphones and visit with you!

One of the topics of discussion is rolling your own transitions by re-purposing old cereal boxes.  A topic of discussion brought up by listener John Simmons on our Facebook Discussion Group.   CG thought it was a cool idea, so we shared.

Chris Michaelson has some discussions on rolling your own transitions on his blog too!   Look here:

We also had fun discussing a fun new rocketry group on Facebook called "The CATO Club"  Where they post pictures of, and discus...CATOS.  :-)
