Companies like Quest, Fliskit, and Semroc should be commended for their efforts in proactively doing all of the above. It's also up to us.


This is so true. I just finished my first read-through of the Sept/Oct Sport Rocketry. The cover photo says it all. The coverage of the 2007 TARC Finals is a truly outstanding article. The models these young rocketeers built to reach the finals and compete within the contest rules at that level are brilliant. This is our brand new generation of rocketeers. I only wish a program like this existed back when I was in school so I could have participated.
