AKA: RadioFlyer Location: Belvidere, IL - USA Club Memberships: Space Program in Training Favorite Rockets: Rocket Cam 2 Biography: I started launching model rockets when I was a kid and finished up in high school... or so I thought. In 1997, when I was 27, I saw an Astrocam RTF kit at Wal Mart and bought it as on a whim.
My co-worker with me asked, "What are you going to do with that?"
"I don't know," I replied. "Maybe I'll save it for my kids."
I got married, we had a little boy and - eventually - he got big enough to wonder about what was in the dusty box in the garage. We took it out in March, 2010, and started the Space Program in Training (SPIT) together. Since then, we've moved up from the RTF kits to level 1 and 2 kits. We've recorded a number of flights with onboard video cameras. We sent up a rocket at night; we covered it in glow sticks so we could keep track of it. We've launched our first D level rocket. We plan to launch at least once in every calendar month (January - not fun).
