Why, to make the Saturn IB stand up to a REAL motor, I had to slather on 5 pounds of epoxy and cat hair to make it strong enough... and replace the silly fins with 3196 maraging steel, hand sharpened to the correct contour with sandpaper taped to the round firm backsides of sci-fi hotties...

Hahaha... Later! OL JR


What is your epoxy/ cat hair ratio?

Siamese cat hair gives the best strength to weight ratio.

....that may be true, but WE have a 25 pound Maine Coon in the house, providing us with an unlimited supply.

If I had enough epoxy, I could produce enough fiberglass to make a fleet of Corvettes.
