Default Launching a model before trying to go to space....

Got a note on the NWRockets mailing list pointing to this story. Apparently Bob Behnken was out on the beach this past Tuesday launching an Estes Amazon before the attempt to go to the ISS yesterday (that was scrubbed for weather). I wonder if he'll go flying again tomorrow .

Well, there is about a million dollars worth of free advertising for Estes! Good for them!!

Based on the reaction I got from Sandra Cox (Customer Service at Estes) when I sent the link to her I don't think they knew about this in advance in Penrose.
