Only this time, it won't be quite real. Rather, what's going up will be the largest model rocket ever built — a one-tenth scale, 36-foot-tall, fully working replica of the Saturn V.
Its nine rocket engines will provide 8,000 pounds of thrust to lift it between 3,000 and 4,000 feet above its launching point in Price, Md.
I was into model rocketry as a youth, decades ago. If I don't get heavy into the shooting sports, it may be something I pick up again.

I lied at w's regarding commenting this evening but I hadn't been here yet...
Very simple advisement:
Shooting Sports and Rocketry/Pyrotechnics are not mutually exclusive and can often be combined. I got on my first music video pyro shoot as the "armorer" in charge of the rifles that fired blanks that sextuple checked them as far as only being blanks AND we got to blow stuff up and shoot skyrockets too!
No sense in limiting your hobbies...
Tom,
Thanks for stopping by, please feel free to stop by often and comment. Always enjoy hearing from you.
Right now the limitation on hobbies is financial, what we can support and still put a kid through college and one though high school. Wow, when did the world get so expensive.
When the Federal Reserve Banking System was put into place???
:-)
