High Power RocketCam Videos

HaveNoMouth writes "What happens when the founder of Xircom and his brother bolt a DV Camcorder to the side of a 200 lb. model rocket and press the red button? The incredible movies (with sound!) at Gates Bros. Rocketry tell the tale. The quality of these movies is by far the best I've seen from the "strap a camera to a flying toy" community. They have a nice gallery of still photos too. If only everyone named Gates did stuff this cool."

Re:Time to put away childish things...not liberals

Could we be clear about this? A liberal is someone who wants you to be allowed to do what you want, provided you do not harm other people. Someone who wants you to stop spending money on rockets and solve world problems is perhaps a socialist, perhaps even a Marxist, possibly a Green.

Right wingers try to label these causes "liberal" because they want to force through their agenda - which is to let you send up rockets and keep guns, but to stop you from having:

• Extra-marital sex
• Non-missionary-position sex
• Gay sex
• Mood altering substances other than alcohol and tobacco

And from:

• Questioning US foreign policy
• Questioning the right of people to run the govt. because they have a lot of money
• Asking awkward questions, full stop.

Trying to get people to confuse liberalism with left wing social activism is a well tested Republican technique.
