[LUNAR Announce:] Great Launch today!

LUNAR!

We had a great launch today. We had over 300 people in attendance which
included several groups from the Boy Scouts, YMCA Adventure Guides, A
Birthday party, STEP (NASA sponsored Program) for students, and a Rocketry
workshop for teachers which was another NASA sponsored program.

I would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped out from NASA Ames!
The volunteers did an excellent job helping with crowd control, and pad
helpers. The people helping with the pads cleaned up the igniters and motor
plugs after each launch which made the final FOD walk very easy. We only had
a handful of stuff we found after the launch.

A BIG THANK YOU to the LUNAR Officers and club members who are always
willing to help out at every launch.

We also had media coverage from the SF Chronicle and Wired.com. The folks
from the Chronicle were doing an article about the club. The Wired Magazine
group was trying to relate the amount of calories in Wendy's Double Bacon
Cheese Burger to how high or how many times you can fly a rocket to 600
feet. The Burger has 1030 (food) Calories or 1030 kilocalories.  I will send
everyone a link to the article when it comes out in the next couple of
weeks.

I hope everyone enjoyed the launch, I sure did. Thank you again to everyone
who volunteered!
