question. Among them, however, is a
rising tide of enthusiasm for practical
rocketry as a powerful motivating fac
tor and teaching tool in basic science.
Nobody can say exactly how many
, practicing societies of amateur rock
eteers exist today, but they are plenti
ful. They range all the way from
Lilliputian groups of two or three
13-year-olds to societies of more than
100 teen-agers and adults which have
been operating for as long as 15 years.
The Richland, Wash., Rocket Society,
for example, has more than 125 night
time launchings to its credit, and main
tains complete photographic and sta
tistical records. All its members have
decided on scientific careers.
In Brooklyn, N.Y., 10 young men who
have been launching rockets since 1953
now take college classes at night so they
can devote most of the day to running
a business which grew out of their fas
cination with rocketry. Last year, this
business sold $10,000 worth of models
of rockets, satellites, and spaceships.
In San Antonio, Texas, high-school
and Trinity University students have
been making rockets for the past two
years under the tutelage of a refugee
Hungarian professor of physics. In more
than 450 launchings, they have suffered
only one failure, and some of their mis
siles have gone as high as 15,000 feet
This group has developed a virtually
foolproof propellant and a type of
rocket nozzle that can be retired half-a-dozen
times. The knowledge they
have acquired is truly considerable.
True, inquisitive young rocketeers
sometimes suffer disappointment even
injury. But because of such accidents,
as unfortunate as they are, should all
rocketeers be curbed?
Why, for example, should we pe
nalize the 15-year-old boy in
Jackson Heights, N.Y., who has built in
his home a 12V4-foot rocket capable of
reaching an altitude of 20 miles? It con
tains two pressurized compartments for
live hamster passengers, radio equip
ment, an accelerometer, an altimeter,
two cameras, and gauges for measuring
temperature, humidity, and pressure
within the compartments all housed in
a package which can be ejected by
radio signal and parachuted to earth.
Its designer and builder, now a pre
medical student, has been waiting for
more than a year for someone to help
him find a place to launch his creation.
Will the American Rocket Society help
him and thousands of other young
Americans like him? Will it help de
velop the talents this nation needs for
survival in the space age?
I hope that it will.
