I just remembered my dad took a slide picture of my very first model rocket launch, that of the Astron Alpha along with the red Electro Launch pad. This was at the CW Ruckel Jr. High School in Niceville, FL (summer of 1969). Engine used was the 1/2 A6-2; I failed to use enough recovery wadding as the parachute was mostly melted. Before launch, my mom was so scared of the engine "blowing up" that she locked herself in the car.
