My Late Brother was Erik Gates of Mythbusters/Gates Brothers Rocketry Fame

I am sad for your loss

I was shocked at how well known my brother was. There were hundreds of people at the memorial and later at the celebration of his life at my brother Dirk's house. His story also showed up on all the major news outlets.

Sorry to hear it. I watched the master blasters marathon they showed during the holidays. I saw mythbusters dedicated an episode to him but didn't recognize the name.

He was also on Master Blasters and Lock and Load with the gunny.

His memorial was Saturday. Mythbusters did a rememberance for him after their new show on Monday.

Goodbye, bro. I'll miss you.
