Very Cool! Can't wait to watch it!

Joe Michel

Is there any indication of when it will be aired?

November 8th is the date we (Tripoli) have been given thus far.

We (NAR, TRA, or what the heck, rmr) should collect money to buy a commercial for hobby rocketry.

(If I'm making sense again, I apologize. I'm still recovering from that concussion.)

I THINK it's the "main" Discovery Channel. But I don't know with 100% certainty.

-Kevin

I had proposed that months ago, I even set up a site for it. The response was dismal, so I canceled the project.

Dang. I was going to contribute, but that's one of the things that leaked out of my brain with the concussion.

I don't suppose a $10 donation would have made any difference, would it? All I could afford right now.

I saw while surfing that Shrox is collecting money for a Public Service Announcement in support of Rocketry. Perhaps if enough contributions take place, the commeial could be aired during the show.

What has Jim's involvement in rocketry been?

He didn't invent LPR or HPR, but he did manage to get beyond the moon a couple of times.

After I hit send I realized I didn't ask, what was his involvement in consumer rocketry?

You would have to be pretty dense to not have heard what he did for society at large (ie not just for a bunch of screaming self-hating whiners like I did).
