Life Long Story

I haven't unboxed the space shuttle yet, but knowing from my past experience it will be fantastic and of very high quality. So, here's the scoop. I'm 62 now, I started building rockets in about 1972 or 74. My first rocket was called a "Sky Hook.," From there I built a number other rockets. One of the most memorable ones was a two stage rocket called the Omega with the blue and black tail fin decals. That rocket was awesome and I wish Estes would bring it back. When I was in sixth grade we had rocketry class, which would now probably be classified as "STEAM." I renumber one of my classmate built a huge rocket called the "Andromeda." That would probably classify as a level five now. It was a great launch. I had a lot of rockets over the years with all sizes of power cells. I lost touch with rockets once I entered the working world. I got into computing in the early 80's, which let me into a 25 year career with the Boeing Aerospace Company. I took early retirement in 2022 and walked over to Alaska Airline and got the job I wanted my whole life, until I developed bone infection in both feet. Long story short, remembering the best times of my youth and still buying Estes Rockets, just too display. Kind Regards, Be Blessed, Mark Lanz

Foam.

I think instead of foam you should use plastic or something more solid because the foam is incredible easy to break. The tail fin broke within 10 seconds of unboxing.
