Yes!
I like that.
Except for one thing. I do NOT want any money.
Lets donate the money to a charity.
I will build the rocket. Model rocketry is not expensive.
Ideas about the look and decoration and, if you are a model rocketeer, about the design and construction are welcome.
We can then launch the rocket and donate the money at the German ZX team meeting in march next year.
I will make a special page on my website. With a PayPal donate button.

That is an outstanding good news!
I made a cross link to the german forum to spread the news to our friends:
http://forum.tlienhard.com/phpBB3/viewt ... ?f=2&t=713

Can't wait to see this (and all of you) there. I'll be glad to donate a bit and am curious to see which charity you select.

Thanks Henk! You will be one of our 2013 highlights....
Regards Paul

Okay - thank you for supporting a ZX81 rocket launch. :mrgreen:
Maybe this will go into history and I think no ZX Spectrum or C64 could do the same. The advantage of Zeddy is its lightweight.

In fact I have no special experience with rockets and I am not a rocketeer but I would like to see this, hopefully live next year.
In the meantime you have much time in sommer for experiments.

Hallo,

Sorry, but the website is down.
It will be up and running today.
I switched to a new editor and wanted to use some fancy templates.
I should have known better…
I learned the old lessen again, keep it simple.
As a ZX81 user I should have known that.
So back to basics ;-) (pun intended).
Hopefully the website will be running today at about 16:00 GMT.

Why not now? He man, there is a snooker finale going on…
By the way, is there a snooker game for the ZX81?
