Fly 50,000 for our 50th Program Results
NAR members have been helping kids fly their first rocket as part of the NAR's 50th Birthday celebration and awarding NAR recognition certificates to those who do so. This program reached 7800 young people in its first two years as of August 1, 2008, and has been so popular that we have decided to continue it for as long as it takes to reach 50,000. Please encourage and assist young people in your community in flying their first rocket today.
