Hey, amazing work! It'd be awesome to see this in the solstice parade, or as an installation at the end site for Solstice or Luminata. I help run both events and we would be happy to help move it and put it back if you're open to it.

Thanks, that's a kind offer! I think we don't have another move in us for a temporary display, but once Jon's kids are grown it'd be great to find someplace to donate it to permanently.

We actually did haul the rocket hundreds of miles to Maker Faire years ago:

Here it is taking on hydrazine:

We had a line of kids waiting for "rides":

Looks like a great trip and with all that disassembly I can imagine it not being an easy one, especially for a one day thing. Still, if you change your mind or want to chat about someday relocating it with all the other space-themed art in Fremont feel free to reach out to parade@fremontartscouncil.org or my username at Gmail. Awesome build!

Thanks, I'll get in touch!
