<div>Thanks for posting those Cliff. I think it was Tweeks who brought up Homer Hickam as a reason why he wanted to see rocketry 'take off' in the NRV.</div><div> </div><div>I have read both Rocket Boys by Hickam and Kraft's <em>Flight: My Life in Mission Control. </em>I highly recommend both books for an insight into what made these men great.</div>

<div><p>I hesitate to mention it here, I don't want to get anyone's hope high, but I've been in communication with Homer about coming out to a launch this year. If it works out, mabe we could work with VT Aerospace on your dedication idea. That would be really special. :)<br>

That's one of the things that further inspired the creation of NRVR originally back in 2011. It's a travisty that Blacksburg is the alma mter of THE Rocket Boy, and yet there was no place to launch a high power rocket here in town. ;)<br>
