It's safe to say that this project is at a standstill at the moment. I've got some ideas tucked away in the archives still, but all progress has stopped. The last few things I accomplished are:
I created a wooden launch system and acquired fluorescent light ballast protectors (thin clear plastic tubes) which will work very well for rocket bodies. They are very lightweight and if they are full of hydrogen and launched at night, they will most likely look very awesome, like some sort of flying light saber or laser beam or something.

Max,
My fear is that the glass tubes will just explode into shards of really fine glass instead of the rocket taking off. There is also unless I'm wrong, some toxic coating on the inside of the tubes that you should not have anything to do with - it may contain Mercury or Phosphorus. Please do some research to see if this is the case, or if I am overreacting!!
I do, however, love the drawings and thoughts!

Oh yeah, I'm not going to launch the light itself, just this shield sort of thing. It's just plastic! =D
