Lessons Learned

Host a work session on car rentals for drivers. Arriving at the rental facility at 7:30 was enough to ensure we were first in line and the cars were back at lab by 8:30. The Intermediate level of compact car offered by budget was insufficient to transport the tent, ladder, or 6in vehicle to the launch.

If you're bringing a 14ft tall rocket, better bring a ladder.
