Teresa-
The multiple rocket launcher worked well in its initial test. The students aimed it up about 90 degrees, fired off one rocket and it sailed up about a 1000 feet and came down in the soccer field.
The next weekend when the Emperor paid his visit, they tried again, and I was standing by with my camera, and everything went off perfectly well for a second time, except for my brown underwear.
I was somewhat concerned that if there were an accident that I'd be shipped home within 24 hours.
One added benefit for the students is that the police from the barracks across from the school had also witnessed the rocket launching and for years never interferred with student demonstrations at the school.
