I posted this message in the wrong location a few days ago so I thought I would post it again here.

I just wanted to invite any one out there that may find themselves in Colorado on July 28 & 29th to come on out to see some really big rockets take to the sky. Along with our annually Chili Blaster launch, Ball Aerospace and United Launch Alliance will be sponsoring their Student Intern Launch. Their big rocket this year will take to the sky under three N-Class motors. Two in the booster and one for the upper stage! This massive rocket will eject over a dozen payload experiments on the way up. This launch is the same field that NARAM 52 was held. Hope to see a couple of you out there.

There should be around a thousand people out there, most of which will be there to see the students launch their rockets.


Here is link to what they plan to fly this year.

It's not to late to jump into a car a travel a 1000 plus miles in order to attend this event. We are expecting around 1200 spectators. Other then the expected high temperatures it should turn out to be a great couple of days.

Here is a link to a news article on the launch. I also heard there was several minutes of the launch on the local news as well.

WAY COOL!
And great PR for the hobby too!

They only showed the first stage on the video!

Here is a news video on what the ULA launch is all about.
