Rockets are difficult environments for connectors, the spring loaded compliant mechanism of an sd card holder just isn’t appropriate for that application. You could get it to work but it would involve a lot of vibration analysis and design to be gentle enough to the connector and you would have to keep track of every time a card was connected and removed.

I bet you could achieve the same results in a lot less time with a lot of glue.

That's very true, but then you have a hard time removing it to get the data from it, or to put new code onto it :)

Newer PIs can boot from the network, in case you need to put new code on because the current code doesn't boot... and you could use the network to fetch data as well. Maybe not as convenient, maybe more convenient, depending.
