It’s been entertaining to watch all the trials the kids have been facing on The Sony Rocket Project with the weather, and the cracked rocket component that could lead to an explosion, and fears that the parachute won’t deploy correctly. It’s like watching a soap opera at times, or Sony Rocket Project survivor, but the project has been a pretty grand event from a spectators perspective. It’s been fun to see the kids getting to work with the equipment and their thoughts and updates on how things are going. Having said that, I really would like to see this rocket launched properly, since with all the hard work they’ve put into it, it would be nice to see it launched with the greatest chance of success. Still, as with all things, projects don’t always end like we want them too, so we’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

As of today, the project is still on weatherhold. You can follow the project here. Cross your fingers and hope for the best.
