Default October Sky 60th

Comrades:

In just over 60 days, we'll have the 60th anniversary of Sputnik 1's launch. I lost my Sputnik R-7 last year so I need a replacement. I got industrious and am "turning them out like sausages!"

Picture shows paper parts for three R-7s and a spare or two for a fourth. Gordy made me the Sputnik and Voskhod noses and I have a Semroc BNC-60SU Soyuz around here somewhere. The colorful bag is the clothespin bag. Gonna push to launch by October 7.

And for you guys following the Art of Scale Rocketry thread, Peter has the plan in that book that is the basis of my builds.
