Now I know why I quit reader Popular Science, its like watching Fox News. All useless talk and BS to excite the viewer.

I too am a Rocketeer through NAR. And by no means is safety taken lightly. Although I have not taken my L1 or L2 certs yet, the amount of regulation and training that I will need go through, not to mention money, would make any AMA member roll over and bury themselve in the sand if they ever have to be subjected to such extremes.

However, the regs must be working, for nobody has been injured, and the Government has called off the regulation dogs on rocketeers for the time being. I have never met so many guys who want to have fun and still promote a hobby in a professional manner.

I saw a bumber sticker once on a L3 rocketeer's car, it said "Anything flying slower than mach 3 is just a toy".
