Today, Sunday, was the last day of launches at the Smith Point site for the SystemsGo team. They had two more schools, Northstar High School and Booker T Washington High School and five more rockets on the original schedule.
This made for another long day on the range, or at least longer than originally anticipated, but it allowed all the students’ hard work their chance to fly. They were up and out on the range early enough to watch the sunrise while they waited for rockets to load on rails, as seen here.
The team finally finished packing up and were highway bound headed back to Fredericksburg at about 4:45 this evening.
One of the highlights of the day was from Northstar High School. A guitar playing, singing, rocket engineer, Mr. Ian Barthlolmee, sat down with Phil and gave the live stream audience a small concert while they waited for his team’s rocket to get clearance down at the pad. What an enjoyable treat for folks there and online. 
You just never know who you will find in this rocket science business. Thank you for the musical treat Ian.
Here are a few shots of the action from the day.
Here is Ian’s team cheering their launch.

She also provided the sunrise, and the lead image for the article tonight, as well as some in the Facebook album mentioned below.
And this one is of the final rocket team of the day, Booker T Washington’s Transonic:
Thank you, Chelsea.
Along with the ones Chelsea shared, here is a link for some really nice ones from today from David Brady, from NASA. He and his daughter, Erika, helped at the pad today. This is their second year to be a part of the action down in Houston. These are some really good pictures, be sure to check out the link.
