Guys,
The launcher is tuned-up, the 007 Video Rocket is finished & tested, engines/igniters/wadding are purchased and the Authorities have OK'd our plan. So, we are in fine shape for this Saturday's rocket launch, 9AM at Hauke Park.
Here is the launch schedule for Saturday, January 27:
Below I describe what still needs to happen, please confirm by return email that you can deal down on your task...and if not, please designate & confirm a competent alternate from your Den, family, etc.. We want to be ready to launch at 9AM, so please shoot for arriving at 8:30AM. There are a few kids with a basketball deal at 10, so the front-end schedule especially must be crisp.
Hot Drinks - Dave Thelander - Bring hot cocoa, coffee, milk, sugar, stirrers, napkins & a garbage receptacle. Your call on a Starbuck's turnkey solution, thermoses from home or brewed onsite...Starbucks should be a piece of cake, and the Pack will reimburse you. Plan for about 60, use your own judgement on the adult/Scout mix.
Tables - Will Cannell - Use Cubmaster keys to score 3 short tables & 2 chairs from Scout Hall (hot drinks, check-in, repair), return after launch.
Check-In & Repair - Bruce Berlinger & Doug Gelbach - Work the tables to safety-check and prep rockets with engines/wadding/igniters. I'll bring some tools, Jackson (cc'd) will be there to help. Experienced Rocketeers James Redfern and Gina Fagan (also cc'd) will hopefully be there too...remember, No Rocket Left Behind. I'll also bring some launch cards to help keep whose rocket is whose straight.
Launch Control - Joe Hiti - Take rockets and load them onto the launcher, recycle rockets that don't launch to Check-In as needed. Confirm readiness with Range Safety team, manage countdown. Amaze crowd, impress your friends with launch of 007 Video Rocket (the finale)!
Range Safety - Israel Rosales - Ensure crowd is ready (safe) before OK'ing Launch. Help coordinate the flow from Check-In to Launch Control. Keep people cheerful & patient, steer anyone who needs it to a hot cocoa or coffee, help move anyone who's running out of time to the front of the line, warm up frozen little hands or heads with a spare pair of mittens or a hat.
Yours In Scouting,
Dave Lundgren
