Guess the rocket is name of the game. Post a picture or a videoclip of a rocket. The others will guess what the rocket is. The first one to come up with the right answer will post the next challenge.
I'll start out with a video and a picture: http://paranoid.dechengst.nl/forumimages/raket2.avi

QUOTE (djellison @ May 13 2006, 10:19 PM) Name the LV Doug: Leaving the filename 'as is' is perhaps making things just a tad too easy! Could I suggest that future players all rename the image file to something that won't be of any assistance!

QUOTE (lyford @ May 14 2006, 12:44 AM) Would that be a Minuteman 3? It has a sort of silo-ish, solid fuel look to it - perhaps an above-ground test? MX, Peacekeeper? Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

This should be easy - a fave since I was a kid, made in plastic toy kits and featured in too many 50's B movies to count -

Re: lyford. Nike-Ajax. Though I had jumped the gun with DEChengst's challenge.
There is a well preserved Nike site about 50 miles north of me. To keep with being in unmanned spaceflight, future submissions should be rocket / LV related to same.

sorry, DEChengst, launched early so to speak. I'll sit the next few rounds in the penalty box. ;-)
