Space Game Rocket Launch?

[Flstan]

I know this is a moon shot (all puns intended) but could some of our esteemed alum suggest this with their management? It would be assume PR and I wouldn’t mind even a TV timeout during the launch. It would be great PR and exposure for all parties, even a NIL deal with one of the space programs at a nominal value would do wonders for UCF announced at or just before the game.

I think the weather might hamper the ability to schedule a launch for that particular date.

SpaceX is launching in Oct and Nov. So it technically can happen. Yes it is not very likely

We could launch a rocket powere by BullDaly’s tears

People have already Tweeted Elon and a bunch of others with this idea. Nothing came of it.

I think Elon is on record saying college is stupid and a waste of time. Given his net worth, hard to argue with him

I would love for this to happen but I think people over state the benefit to the space companies. They have little incentive to do it and logistics make it really hard to do.

Tell you what. I will do it..I will go down to my local hobby store and buy the biggest Estes Rocket I can find. Hopefully one that takes the D engine because then you know it will go up high. I will paint it black with a canaveral blue stripe or nose cone. Then I will go east of the stadium ,maybe the softball lot and launch it. sometimes you just got to take charge. 😆. I just need a signal or something from somebody inside the stadium as to when to launch it .

Somewhere in Bithlo theres a Florida Man with a scale sized Nasa reject rocket we can certainly use

No thanks. A huge rocket is launching this Monday! It’s exhausting!

Why don't we launch a small, to-scale replica rocket from the parking lot in line with the 50? Many in the crowd won't know the difference.

Dude, used to be an awesome place to live. You could buy a 10 acre lot for cheap and be left the hell alone.

When I was a kid, my dad and I built an Estes rocket that had a "payload" in it. The payload was a lizard we caught. The rocket worked and the lizard was clinging to the parachute on the ground afterwards. We let the lizard go and he scuttled off. Hell of a thing. Might not be able to get away with that today, though - this was circa 1988.
