Got my membership card yesterday, along with the promise of a "Sport Rocketry" magazine in the future.

Yes, I know membership is limited only to those who scrape up enough allowance money to join, but I still feel like I'm twelve again! Woo Hoo!!

[Neil]

but you live in england! I thought the NAR was only to people in the States...

 

[Mike]

So stating my UKRA number was cheating?

 

[Neil]

yea! Were talkin NAR, here!

CHEATER!!!!

 

[rabidsheeep]

homer hickam never was in the nar i dont think (ive read that book too many times)

after the last launch of the bcma he went and studie

*goes and looks for books*
*realizes he lost book*
*runs around in panic*

studied something... then went to work for something along the line of nasa and launched something blah blah

not once did it mention the nar though...

 

[Neil]

But he went to TARC launches... You would think he would at least join NAR....


He went on to train Shuttle astronauts, I think.

 

[graylensman]

thanks, everyone! I noticed that NARAM will be held in Virginia this year. That will be easy for me to attend, and would be my first visit to an NAR event!

My wife asked how much membership cost, and when I told her, her jaw dropped. Then she said, "I guess you're entitled to one extravagance."
