Todd Sharrock is a leader in the Aeronautics Club who helped start the club and enjoys model aviation as a hobby. He gives a presentation on the history of rockets and his experience building a small-scale high-powered rocket as a low-budget hobby project using spare parts from the club. He discusses the key sections of a basic rocket, including the airframe, altimeter, payload, recovery, and engine, and the preparations needed prior to launch, including weighing the rocket, checking weather, packaging, and safety. The rocket launch was unsuccessful due to an engine malfunction causing it to not separate properly.
