Brief recap of previous shenanigans and plans for the future.

So as a bit of a background to this blog, I'll recap my rocketry history and recent flights and experiences I've had.

I've basically been involved in rocketry since I was a little kid launching them with my dad before we both lost interest around middle school with the last rocket I built was a helicopter-recovery model in 8th grade. Recently, with nothing else to do, I decided to get back into them and start doing crazy stuff again. Within the last month or two I've built maybe 5-6 new models, as well as re-used some old ones from my house. Some have met with success, others failure. I'll be elaborating more on individual flights when I review the rockets more in depth. Right now I plan on getting a new model to fly every week or two and then do a review of the construction process and performance. My current master rocketry goal as of now is to construct and successfully fly the most realistic Saturn V possible in terms of performance, something I have not really seen done by major model manufacturers.
