Is anyone going to the LUNAR launch tomorrow, March 19?
My understanding is that this is the final LUNAR launch at the NASA Ames facility at Moffett Field. It's sad we are losing this field. When I got back into rocketry 3 years ago, the LUNAR club launches were a big part of sparking my interest in moving beyond local schoolyard launches on A, B, and C motors. Moffett was also where I got to meet a lot of my TRF friends in person for the first time. And it has just been a very cool place to fly rockets --- for one thing, it's a NASA facility (how cool is it to fly rockets at a NASA facility!), there are a lot of interesting historic buildings and planes on the base, and you often get to see some really interesting aircraft taking off or landing. I'm going to miss this place.
I'm definitely planning on attending, and I hope to see some of my rocket buddies there!
