Actual Customer Comment:
"I just found your site today and just wanted to say thanks. As a dad of a 12 and a 7 year old, I have just gotten back into rockets after many years. I have realized how much has changed and how much is the same. I look forward to tryting some Apogee rockets. I just bought your design book with Cd-ROM for my sons ,but it did not tell me how to get our astrocam out of the telephone lines, at least that hasn't changed." -- David Parish
