Ask 'Rocket Guy' Brian Walker

We've mentioned amateur rocket enthusiast Brian Walker (better known as Rocket Guy) a few times before; he's one of those people who aren't content with building Estes model rockets that carry eggs or tiny cameras. Instead, Rocket Guy is building a backyard rocket -- and he hopes to launch himself about 35 miles into the air. His launch, originally planned to take place sometime this year, has been delayed for the best of reasons, but now's your chance to ask about the theory and practice of home-brewed rocket travel. We'll pass the best questions along to Rocket Guy, and post his answers soon.

Had to be asked...

How does it feel to be the only person in history preselected for the Darwin Award nominations?

Hurry

This isn't a question, but a plea to the slashdot editors.

Please perform this interview before his planned flight. ;-)

Thank You,

Cowboy hat?

[micromoog]

In case something goes wrong, are you planning to take with you a large ten-gallon cowboy hat to wave around on reentry?
