Who says Ostriches can't fly? If it is something you want enough, you can find a way. Of course, should ostriches be piloting highly dangerous rockets is another question...

I was given an Ostrich egg so that I could participate in Gecko Studio Gallery's The Work of the Eggs... Continued exhibition. Here is my finished object, a  rocket egg that opens up to reveal our intrepid Ostrinaut inside.

And here is a video of it under construction, to the accompaniment of Steve Taylor and the Perfect Foil's song Moonshot.
