There's been an announcement that RocketSilo is reopening under new management in January 2002.

I wish them luck and hope that they maintain the same level of service that the original RocketSilo held.

RocketSilo 2.0 Gains New Ownership

Las Vegas, NV (ROL Newswire) -- The Gates Bros. are pleased to announce they
recently purchased the rights to the Rocketsilo name and website. "We
perceived that Rocketsilo was a well respected consumer rocket business and
we were just as shocked as everyone else when Steven Moore posted his going
out of business sale" stated Erik Gates. While not buying the old Rocketsilo
business in toto, the Gates Bros. intend to continue the spirit of the
business by naming the new enterprise Rocketsilo 2.0. "This portrays a new
beginning with new ownership and management" said Erik Gates. We intend to
make Rocketsilo even better than before. It will carry more product and have
an even better web presence. Special relationships are being formed with a
number of rocket industry manufacturers and suppliers to bring the customer
new and exciting products. The RocketSilo motto is "for rocket lovers by
rocket lovers" stated Erik Gates.

Secondly, the Gates Bros. are pleased to announce they have teamed up with
the Pretto Bros., another rocket brother team that brought the public the
first live internet web broadcast from inside a rocket. The Prettos will be
active participants in Rocketsilo 2.0. "We found out that while we were
pursuing the Rocketsilo brand, the Prettos were also intending to start a
new entity involved with rocketry" stated Erik Gates. "It only took one
phone call to realize that we should combine forces under the new Rocketsilo
2.0 name."

Rocketsilo intends to carry a full line of rocket kits and motors including
AeroTech and the new Cesaroni Pro 38 system. "We know that the motor
situation is tenuous at best right now" stated John Pretto. "But we are
committed to flying rockets. We believe that AeroTech is working diligently
to get production back up and running as soon as possible. Our best thoughts
are with them, and the families affected by the terrible loss. In the
meantime we will offer a number of options, including the new Pro 38 system,
and a number of hybrid motor systems."

Look for Rocketsilo 2.0 to attend a number of upcoming launches like
Rocstock in Lucerne, CA and Turkey Shoot outside of Las Vegas, NV. "We are
going to make every attempt to be at those launches" stated Chuck Pretto.
"We are working diligently to get all of our ducks in order to be at those
launches." Look for the RocketSilo 2.0 webstore and official launch and
grand opening to be January 1, 2002.
