Actual Customer Comment:
"Thanks for the rating system on your site and the explanations about the product and the materials that come with the rocket. We are novices at this and having your information and description helps me a lot in deciding what we should buy. I haven't found any other sites with as much explanation and detail. THANK YOU!" -- Chris Sterling
