> 
> 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

> 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

> 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

> I hope everyone enjoyed the launch, I sure did. Thank you again to everyone
