Well, maybe it's not rocket science, but Cullen did build a rocket to race in his Cub Scout pack's Space Derby. He and Robert built his rocket on Friday evening and Saturday morning, just in time for the race that was held on Saturday afternoon during the pack's family camp out (more pictures from that in a later post). This was the pack's first time to do a Space Derby and there were a few glitches. Due to problems with most of the rockets, they decided to postpone the official race until the next pack meeting. But Cullen's rocket did great - out of the ten rockets entered, his was one of only two that made it to the end of the race! Way to go Cullen!

Cullen's rocket in the lead. (The yellow, red, blue and silver blur to the left side of the picture.) It's hard to see what's going on in the picture, but the rockets travel along a 40 foot length of fishing line. Most of the rockets didn't make it to the end, but Cullen's did.
