You should know that spaceships don't run on rubber bands. :laugh:

I was going to slow it down but I was told we did not get to the moon by going slow! So the spaceship has to do what the spaceship has to do....

Even if that is just to prove space travel is possible (without loosing a tile or an O ring!)

remember the Challenger Rod !!!

Was that the tile or the O ring?

i don't remember honestly. i just watched to burst into flames as a kid. so don't push your spaceship to hard

O ring.

Gee, the were just getting to the moon when I was a kid

Wasn't it a rubber part that failed on your table too Tommy?
