| Project Evident Purpose: To launch a muppet into space, as I do not believe that this has actually happened and believe the TV footage from the late 70's of the muppet gang in space to actually be a hoax. The scenes being filmed in a Californian TV studio. Prediction: Kermit will reach speeds in excess to 50 K/mph. And explode. Apparatus: 1 X McDonald Happy Meal Toy 1 X Garden Cane 1 X Milk Bottle 2 X High yield plastic strips 2 X Banshee Rockets Method: A special rocket Backpack shall be attached to Kermit the Frog, as shown in Fig 1. Two banshee rockets will be used to maintain balance and stability but also to aid in acceleration. High tensile plastic strips will be used to hold the apparatus together, and prevent early break up. The apparatus will be strapped together and fired vertically. To be safe I shall wear a pair of trainers. Prediction: Kermit will attain critical mass just as the banshee missles cease to scream. At this point they shall explode. Pieces of green material and stuffing, possibly on fire, shall shower down on surrounding gardens. Kermit will be cruely denied his dreams of space flight. Lee will laugh. |
| Project evident launched ahead of schedule at 2000 hrs due to me being way to impatient to wait it out. Kermit took off to a altitude of roughly 5 metres before spinning uncontrollably. He changed course to NNW before the rockets ran out of juice the screaming of the Banshee fireworks ceased and brilliantly both exploded at the same time. The stuffed toy was invisible so a damage report is not forth coming. PROJECT SUCCESS Possible future projects to follow. |
