But did they tell you about all the reg's and laws and hoops those
High Power Rocketeers have to deal with? AND the cost of those birds?

Well, yes. I asked when I first saw them about 3 years ago. We saw
an M motor lauch Saturday (the largest permitted in California). The
cost of the motor alone? $300. We won't even talk about the rocket,
the altimiter, the dual stage recovery system...

And their regulations are pretty insane. They even need certification
to fly their rockets. I'm glad I don't need a Nebula Certification
(or maybe I do and that's why I can't find them?).


To bad you where't up this way, the seeing in the High Mojave Desert
was awesome this weekend.


You are that close? I may have to pack up my scope and come up for a
night sometime.
