BFR Registration Form
The rocket isn't built yet, so some of this information will change. But the sarcasm will remain.

- Rocket Name:
- Grounds for Divorce (This may change --- and yes, that's a joke ... at least I think my wife was joking).
- Rocket Size:
- 11.5 feet tall (give or take), 11.5 inches in diameter (that's set in stone ... well, plastic and phenolic).
- Rocket Weight, (unloaded), (loaded):
- unknown (I assume about 75 pounds unloaded).
- Shoe Size:
- 9 give or take 1/2 a size. Really depends on the cut of the shoe, and what's available. Slightly bigger is better than slightly smaller, but that's kinda obvious, so I probably don't need to say that.
- Motors Used:
- Current plan is an AMW N2700-GG.

- 11,450ns (2,575lb-s).

- RockSim and wRASP

- PerfectFlite miniAlt/WD and probably a MissileWorks RRC2-mini.
- Describe Recovery System:
- Tubular Nylon, Quick links, U-Bolts, a small drogue parachute, and a large main parachute.
- How Many Separate Parts Descending:
- I'm leaning toward using a deployment bag like my idol, Rich Pitzeruse, so the nose cone will recover on its own chute. But then again, he's a Dumas, so perhaps I shouldn't. Wait ... am I a Dumas?
- Has this rocket flown in this configuration before?
- Nope. This will be the first flight.
- Are you a Momma's Boy, (or Girl)?
- Nope. And if you don't believe me, ask my mother.
