Bill & Frank watch Bill’s Saturn V launch Photo by Tim Burger	Bill’s Saturn under silk — It ejected both ’chutes normally but unfortunately the upper section separated from the harness; Bill mentioned later that the harness itself broke. The black spot near the top of the image is the upper section parachute; the upper section can be seen near the bottom. Photo by Tim Burger
Larry & Nick talking rockets Photo by Tim Burger	Dave Lucas and his home brew rocket made from pressed card-stock and foam. The boost on this glider was quite interesting with a sort of air loop. The pop-pod stripped the ’chute on ejection, but the glider settled down into a nice glide. Photo by Tim Burger
