NASA





President Obama's decision to ax funding to many NASA programs has had an immediate negative impact on the LaFleur Household. The boys were eager to try out the Turbo Rocket they received for Christmas from some friends. However, Turbo 1 did not have a successful launch....yet. The release mechanism did not seem to work properly. We will seek outside funding sources to help find a solution, and get that rocket to the moon.

I love the picture with Don holding the string & reading the instruction manual. I think you should have people make suggestions for a caption for it.

I'll go first:

"I'm supposed to do what with this string?!"

Yes, the manual came out after the fourth or fifth failed attempt.
My caption would read
"Maybe if I would have referred to the manual earlier like my wife suggested this would be working by now"
FULL DISCLOSURE: At no point did I tell Don to refer to the manual-I was not home at the beginning of this project. However, had I been home, I likely would have said that.

Here's mine:
"Page 5, step 42: never hold string while rocket is pointing skyward. Hmmm."
