Flight of the Hindrocket, Part III

Rick Vatsaas, an actual rocket scientist, is a Power Line reader. As we recorded here and here, Rick built a 4 1/2 foot high rocket modeled on my icon and flew it in a rocket competition in Arizona last month. We’ve previously posted pictures of the Hindrocket’s maiden flight; Rick has now posted a video of the flight which you can link to here. It’s pretty impressive; this is a photo of the flight:

Rick is, I think, the real Rocket Man.
