I loved estes model rockets as a kid. I remember they had a model for "rich folks" that could launch an egg inside. Really rich folks could get the one with the 8mm camera.

I was poor and could only launch a few times. My go-to rocket was a "park toy rocket" I could fill with water, pump up manually, and launch over and over.



Oh how I drooled for that Astrocam 110.


We eventually opted for dowels and engines. We would cut off match heads to make a fuse.
