Actual Customer Comment:

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks.  The last couple of years I have been away from my son, (I recently retired from the Military).  I wanted to make up for some lost time with him, do something that was both fun and educational.  I found it at ApogeeRockets.com!  I recently purchased your "First Time Flyer" package.  We went throught the videos and read the instructions.  We took off to a nearby field and had 3 successful launches in a row.  I haven't seen that look of amazement and joy on his face in quite sometime.  Thank you again.
