Neat. Who's the guy on the right? <g>
Nit. From the article: "Avionics Team Leader Eric Knight, KB1EHE, told
ARRL that the 21-foot, 10-inch diameter Civilian Space Xploration Team
(CSXT) GoFast vehicle reached an altitude of 77 miles according to its
onboard instruments, making it the first amateur rocket to do so."
Assembling and launching a 21-foot, 10-inch diameter rocket must have
been a real challenge. That's getting up to Saturn V class, right? <g,d&r>
