In the air / On the air
I'm working on lining up a guest appearance on The Space Show , and I seem to be making some progress. They read an email of mine the other night, and it sounds like they were interested in what I said: Audio Clip from The Space Show Meanwhile, this week I've also learned that junior high and high school students can now sign up for this year's Team America Rocketry Challenge . The goal is to design a model rocket that will lift an egg to 750 feet and keep it in the air for 45 seconds - and the egg has to be lying on its side, like an astronaut sits. Winners get to go to next year's international air show in Paris, among other prizes. I had a great time with model rocketry as a kid, and even won a regional tournament once. It's definitely something all young space enthusiasts should look into.
