Well, I was having my coffee this morning when I realized I was an idiot. Jackie Linevsky, a brilliant and talented team member, had suggested something I would have tossed to the side without a second thought. She said to make the rocket into one continuous cylinder, rather than sections that are joined with connectors. So simple, right? Well, not really. Gluing the sections together is rather stressful, because you need to keep everything straight.
So why did I toss out Jackie's idea before? Well, I had thought the glued sections would leak a little bit, so the less glued sections the better. What I did not think of was that the glue used for applying the carbon fiber would seal EVERYTHING. C'mon, let's give it up to Jackie for this wonderful innovation!
PS: I added a slideshow of some pictures I had to the right. Check it out!
