Absolute legends!
Thank you so much for putting this together and uploading it for posterity. David and Lees flight was a pivotal point in amateur rocketry and the history of California's (and our own) history with rocketry. That white rocket is legendary in our circles. :-) Thank you again.
yep California . . today ya can't even buy the glue they used on the AL shell seam!
You all were way ahead of NASA!
@@robozstarrr8930 there is a thriving amateur rocketry community in California today. Go whine about something else, somewhere else.

Absolute pioneering titans. Warms my heart to know what those young kids were up to at a time when few knew such craft and engineering. Thanks for sharing with us.
wonderful quality film making and rocket building, Shame it was lost, but at least you still have this as a record
Nice. I certainly loved that. I remember my passion for rockets as a kid up till about 10 years ago when my good friend passed away. Things aren't the same without Frank Kosdon. All I know is that money went as fast as rocket motors. Now I see there is cheaper ways to do or always was there but that is why there is a rediscovering of love for rocket motors. Notice I say motors. My rockets were designed around each motor designation. The higher the number the stronger the airframe I was only interested in getting my motor back. Everything else was secondary. Thank you for that. I really enjoyed that. Sincerely "October Skies"😉
UA-cam recommended really came through this time
Amazing. Too bad parachutes weren't invented yet. Oh right, this is '50. It must be very disappointing to lose a working rocket that took such effort, time and materials to put together. Handling 90% peroxide without goggles and face mask, especially when you're the guy standing UNDER the pouring funnel, is just insane by today's standards. Thanks for posting this. The movie documentation was superb and thorough. BTW, where are those young men today?
I wonder if the rocket has ever been found and if not, it would be historic for rocketry today. Anyone up for a search?
I was wondering the same thing.
Incredible and inspiring
Wow, so good ol' American boys in this video! Great documentary, impressive results... it was a pleasure to watch!
Now I want to go find it...
Great film!
Back in the 1970s when I was in high school, I found a book in the library about a very similar rocket development. It was also launched from the same area, was H2O2 powered, failed to ignite the tracking charge, and was not found. I'm thinking now that it was probably the same people. Did you guys write a book?
Me and my collegiate rocketry group are developing a rocket extremely similar to this. If anyone has any further literature on it, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm surprised that even back then, personal protection was so casual regarding H2O2 exposure. I got a tiny drop of 30% on my skin and it sure let me know. I guess when we're young, we're all invincible!
I wonder if they took into account the Coriolis effect when trying to find the rockett? Just a thought.
Wouldn't it be wise to add a cover/filter system above the ones that are active (volcanoes: don't like the idea of colder weather and crappier growing seasons)...
*Great record of events... lol
23,760 ft !!! Without computers !
I wonder if it was recovered by someone…
Hol voltam.én akkor még , 40 években a németek élen jártak. Boztos van itt ott történelmi darab.
This is the real authentic American guys, who made things in the well know American Spirit, so lovelymovie and great look at the 1950 America in it's glance .Avihou
With a slide ruler ( yeah! I know you don't know what that is) ! I don't know how to use one !
Slide Rule (not ruler). I *do* know how to use one. It's not hard .
The title has a 0 and not an O
fake it till you make if
