Hi all,
Boy.. last month was a real treat! Homer Hickam, plus the largest rockets
we've ever fired off in the NRV! Here are most of the stills from the event:

Again, HUGE thanks go out to Mr. Hickam, and all the sponsorship $$ and
volunteers from Rackspace, VBI, VTARA (ham radio club), VT-AIAA/SEDS and of
course our own NRVR folks!
