Greetings-I have nothing intrinsically profound to share today. I just wanted to share some images I found recently with other people who might want to get in touch with their inner nerd. As you know, the title of my blog is Nerdvana, and in the spirit of that, I occassionally like to talk about and provide links to sci-fi stuff.
Like many nerds, I have an interest in model rocketry that includes building them from Estes kits and taking great joy in shooting them up 300, 500, or more feet up in the air. There's just something satisfying about it, and if you have kids (I have two boys) it's a great way to spend time with them. Nothing says parental love quite like blowin' some stuff up!
With that in mind, I found something combining two things I enjoy: Star Wars and rockets.

Thanks, Brad, for your cool images! Man, I'm still geeking out over how awesome that is. It is a pretty solid example of what I would be doing if I had the resources. So until I do get that Columbian Cartel side thing going, I'll just live vicariously through other people I guess.
Peace out!
Proverbs 23:4-6 (New International Version)
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
