britfrog 180 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 was that the prototype for the uk's next attempt on the moon? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Perhaps the most awesome community 'fireworks/kite' display i have ever seen. I'd turn my back on any traditional fireworks show to watch this any day. I literally WHOOO HOOOO'd when it cleared the smoke Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,316 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I loved that cloud of smoke it put off even before it made that spectacular corkscrew accent. I wonder if I can talk my community into trying that. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Way too cool! Almost as much smoke as a Shuttle lift-off. Reminds me of the paper "glow" thingies that the locals send off in Chiang-Mai. No regard whatsoever for the fire hazard as thousands of paper bags with burning candles inside are sent aloft on celebration days. They sure know how to have fun. Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'm guessing that whoever is the insurance carrier is going to put the big ix-nay on that idea really early in the planning process. John Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Unless Brett's community is a major town, It would be cheaper to fly interested parties to Thailand to view their event in person, than deal with the USA red tape, fees, permits, sanitation rentals, site rental, security rentals, handicap access, Iinsurance, etc, etc, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,316 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Haha, I live in a small community of 700 acre lots and 500 homes. One of the Rules is no fireworks Anyway, could you imagine how dizzzzy you would get after that flight. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Great post John, I love it. It is a wonder that they managed to get the rockets balanced so evenly to keep its accent vertical. It looks like Kim il Young's flying saucer program had a successful prototype launch! Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Great clip John, loved it! Haha, I live in a small community of 700 acre lots and 500 homes. One of the Rules is no fireworks Anyway, could you imagine how dizzzzy you would get after that flight. Nah, just mount the seat so that the rest of the death trap construction rotates beneath you and you'll be fine.. just make sure you bring a wet towel to cover your nose/mouth and some goggles for your eyes so the smoke doesn't bother you Link to post Share on other sites
