As you all know, a few days ago we had a big explosion of the FTC pressure vessel. Right now the team is trying to repair or remake the FTC part of the rocket, but it seems hard. Also, the launcher exploded after an overload of pressure tests. Instead of reinforced PVC, we will be using steel pipe rated at 3000psi. We will launch at around 2000 psi for the FTC, and 200 psi for the booster. However, this all relies on the factor that we can actually repair the FTC portion of the rocket. If we can't, we may have to resort on using a full-blown 2 liter bottle "stack" rocket (a rocket constructed using 2 liter bottles).
For the money part, the team needs funds. So until we can get a good stack of fundraisers, we're going to need a "transition fund." It will basically be a pizza sale, so if you want to donate, buy a slice! More info about this will be posted. Well, anyways, stay tuned for more info! By the way, if you don't understand anything I just posted, it's okay. I'll post some explanations later on.
