[RocketsNW] Link for Holiday Rocket Video

[Robert Krausert]

Cost of motor per tree cost ratio applies for me. So what does a Christmas 
tree cost? Lets say $30. Hitting it with a step-stool from the bathroom and 
24 D motors is close to 1:1. But (3) K motors, cases $150 each and reloads 
at $100+ each, that would be 25:1 or higher. I'll save my big motors. 
Currently only costs me $10 for the Scout troop to pick up our used tree 
from the front yard after the holidays.

No, I'm not bah-hum-bug. The video was cool. My snowball Sputnik was great 
to watch and only used a D12, three planting sticks, chunk of aluminum foils 
and a snowball. Now that was cool, and deployment was the destroying of the 
snowball. Cost was roughly $4.

Cheers,
Robert
