A few years back I built a dual stage model rocket using regular rocket motors:

I hoped for some kind of postmortem to understand what went wrong and what was learned from the failure.

Here’s the direct link to the 3rd page if anyone wants :

I’d recommend reading the earlier 2 pages for context though.

The second and especially third pages have some of that.

I don't get why it was bad to name the rocket Vanessa.

I was wondering the same. I’m not in this industry, but perhaps rockets are not typically given human names, so it’s a joke? Also, it’s spelled Venessa rather than Vanessa, so maybe it’s humorous because of the misspelling.

I think the author was pointing at the fact that "Venessa" looks like a typo.

Solid motor rockets are scary?
