After my Enerjet article was published in LAUNCH Magazine I thought I would write a series of history articles concerning hobby rocket companies that had closed.

The first up was Cox Hobbies.

I had completed a full outline for an article and written the introduction when I was pulled into some other project.

Before I could finish the Cox article LAUNCH magazine closed up shop.

I was disappointed because Mark Mayfield was an excellent editor and had worked with me to make my Enerjet article better than it was originally written.

A few months later I stumbled onto some additional information about Cox and realized I would need to revise my article before submitting it anywhere else for publication but never proceeded any further.

I have file boxes full of stuff about dozens of rocket companies big and small.

There is some fun material in those boxes...

I hear an NAR publication calling your name!
