The VRT had some model rocket motors laying around and we got to thinking, “What can we do with these pigs we just acquired and those rocket motors?” We dissected a rocket motor, took the fuel out and hollowed out another pig. We weren’t satisfied with the height we got with the rocket motor powered pigs, so we built a launch pad, made a better rocket, added fins and placed the pig on top. If you want to see the results, hit us up on twitter and if we get enough requests, we’ll post the video.”]
