Rocket enthusiasts of the world, this summer a group of my friends and I have been given the opportunity to participate in an extreme high power rocketry competition.
We are planning to fly a high power rocket to over 60,000feet in 60seconds.
To fund a project like this, costs a lot of money. But we know that rather than asking for a lot of money from a few people, we have friends that could donate $5, $10, $50, maybe even over $100 to support this project.
Our fundraising goal is $4,400 which is our budget required for this project.
I know that with your help, you can help make our dream a success.
RocketHub is a website similar to the popular crowdfunding website Kickstarter. RocketHub accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!
DONATING AND GETTING NOTHING IS LAME, THAT IS WHY FOR EACH DONATION CATEGORY THERE IS A PRIZE, well a little gift, FROM US TO SHOW OUR THANKS TO YOU.
WE WANT YOU TO WIN OUR GIFTS!
*Billy Mays off*
It is an exchange, your funds, for rewards from us! What more could you ask for?
So these are the steps to donate:
1) Click our link
2) Find our project interesting enough.
3) Click "Fuel this Project"
4) Earn rewards
5) Share with your friends.
For this fundraising effort to be successful we need as many "fuelers" as possible.
So please! even if you don't donate. FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, and help us spread the word.
Thank you very much,
Bryce Chanes

Project Summary:
A team of well-rounded and talented college students from Southern California would like to build a record breaking amateur rocket. They have the skills, but unfortunately, not the money to do so. They have successfully flown to 30,000 ft in 30 seconds in April of 2012, and set a National Altitude Record thanks to a wonderful community of sponsors. But now, they look to a wider community for financial support of this challenging project.
This group of aspiring aerospace engineers each has a focused skill within the team: a propulsion expert, a computer tech, and a composites engineer. This group has worked together before on the aforementioned 30,000 ft project and was able to succeed fully in its goals.
In the 60,000 ft project they hope to achieve the goal of reaching the highest single-stage altitude in the commercial motor classification.
The rocket alone will weigh approximately 10 pounds empty, be about eight feet tall, and four inches in diameter; powered by a 33 pound rocket motor, that produces over 1,800 pounds of thrust. The rocket can expect to travel to nearly 4 times the speed of sound, about 3,000 mph!
To do this, they will need performance components and technology. This costs money and thats where they will need your help. Many of the components will be made by the team, but many items will have to be bought due to the specific tolerances required to make this project a success.
We hope that you choose to fuel this group's rocket and share their story so that you know that you have supported the future scientists of our world. We have BIG dreams and hope for help achieving them.
