Wrong! The NAR group has over 9000 members. One of the “personal pages” (i.e. started by an individual) — the The Model Rocketry Fanatics group, has over 6000 members.

I detest Zuckerberg, but follow numerous FB rocketry groups, becaus there are thousands of people posting daily in these groups, and a huge amount of information shared by people who have a passion about the hobby.

I follow perhaps 20 groups, but there are hundreds. And practically every rocketry club has a FB page. There are 3 BST (Buy,Sell, Trade) groups just for model rocketry that I follow.

And with the heavy-handedness of FB, there are now several rocketry groups on MeWe. Six months ago there was one group, with a 6 month old post and only a couple members. I would like to see all the FB rocketrygroups move to non-censoring platforms like MeWe, but that isn’t likely to happen.

Love it or hate it, the social media sites are where the bulk of the action is.
