I wasn’t there but if someone built a time machine to go back to 73 to all that stuff – I’d definitely be the 1st in line! _____ From: arocket-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:arocket-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Redacted sender "MONTMACH@xxxxxxx" for DMARC Sent: Friday, 20 March 2015 9:18 AM To: arocket@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AR] Re: Your Next/Dream Rocket Tool Purchase? Back 1973 I built my first Zinc sulfur rocket using only a file, hacksaw, saber saw, power drill and a buzz box welder. Flew it at the MTA with the RRS. Now I have 3 cnc mills, 5 cnc lathes, 15 automatic lathes and all the support equipment. But no time to work on rockets.
