I have always liked . . . Cowabunga

I made a funny!

Ah, the good old days of movies and TV - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the first movie). I saw it in the theater when it came out, but I don't think I'd seen it since then. I remembered the line at the end (the blog title and follow-up), and parts of the plot (Raph healing in the bathtub at a house in the country), but I had forgotten a lot of things, too. It was still a good movie, 18 years after its theatrical release. We've been on a movie nostalgia trip of late - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (I remember the cartoon, but same difference), Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and now Turtles (with Turtles 2 coming next), and I have to say, I'm enjoying these movies again.

I did some more work on my missiles project today. I've got my nozzle analysis working fairly well; my mass budget has numbers in it, though they are completely made up; and Cequel data is working its way into the analysis. Cequel is an advanced combustion chemistry code which we can only use through our instructor, who has a copy and gives us the data that we need for this project. My upper stage, which includes all my hardware but only about half of my structure (the other half is budgeted on the lower stage), is pushing the limits of my 150 pound estimate. I hope the real masses of the components are less than I am budgeting, because I don't want to have to re-run a lot of numbers.

Ninja . . . vanish. More tomorrow.
