Hi,
When reading the link Jerry posted
That being the science side of rocketeering. The film was remarkably lacking in the science involved. Ya might say that is because of a lack of interest, but I think that it is a self fulfilling thing.
Our current culture is deficient in scientific interest. Kids have pro jocks as figures to admire. This is wrong on so many levels that I will not insult you by explaining them.
This sort of thing contributes to the dumbing down of America.
OTOH... rocketry is a excellent subject to draw kids into an interest in science. The show completely missed that opportunity. Perhaps they will do another and include some science.
They might be surprised to see many viewers rise to the occasion and find it interesting
Perhaps some of you already promote knowledge of the science side.Perhaps some of you could do more, eh?
BTW... Big rockets are cool, but if you want to draw people into the hobby, you show some small rockets with easily obtained kits and motors.
As I recall... the only ones they showed... did not even ignite.
