Haha, that looks like great fun! I'd liked the "Blackbird" (It's the Batman Rocket 😁). I thought this was going to be about Portal 2 at first 😛
No...it's the SR-71 Blackbird.

You should have announced this, me and my dad would have come out and launched our rockets. In fact my dad launched small animals in rockets before anyone here was born, so we've already beat you to manned spaceflight. We never thought to launch a calculator though. Golf-balls, yes, army men on parachutes, yes, but never calculators. We should 1up you guys and actually launch one with some kind of data gathering package like an accelerometer or a barometer. Now that I think about it, if you guys could put together the hardware and software package, my dad has the 30+ years of experience needed to make it fly. We could even bring our massive G-engine Viking rocket out of mothballs for this, which could actually hold several TI-83/84 series calculators in it's payload compartment...
My dad + uncles did a lot of model rocketry back in the day - even had some that deployed cameras and multi-stage rockets and cool things like that, but neither they nor I ever really got into the >D sorts of rockets (though I was always envious of the F-powered X-Wings in the Estes catalog). Unfortunately CATOs become a lot more common at that scale.

Nice =)
