Water Rockets

Sunil finally got to launch the water rockets they made a month ago.  The rocket body is a plastic bottle with rigid foam fins taped on.  The bottle is partially filled with water and then pressurized with air.  When the pin is release the water is forced out through the mouth propelling the rocket in to the air.  They were actually quite dramatic.

Looks like lots of fun.
Do you remember the rockets we sent up from our house in Oklahoma when you were 5 or 6?
