I was playing a round with the new google print
formatting link
)which allows you to view books online and I stumbled across a book titled:Duh! "The stupid history of the human race..." and found this while doing a search on model rocket:
"it doesn't take a hugh federal bureaucracy to accomplish something really dumb. Even the local school board can manage the deed.
a 13 yr old Arizona boy was inspired to build a model rocket after seeing the movie October Sky, the strory of NASA rocket scientist Homer Hickman. The boy took his rocket, made out of a potato-chip cannister and fueled with
3 match heads, to school. School officials classified the rocket as a weapon and suspended the boy for the rest of the year, based on the Zero-tolerance weapons policy."
I guess they never heard of amateur rocketry huh?
