It came down too quickly for me to get sharp focus, and landed like an oversize lawn dart on the ramp, near some spectators. After this incident, the spectator area was moved farther away from the launch area.

There was more: each rocket carried an egg, with a 2-ounce brass replica of a locally made brick attached to it, and the egg had to survive unbroken. In this case, it did. It landed on the taxiway of Bush Airport (closed during the launch program).

Each of the six student teams built a rocket. The competition involved their flying to exactly 1,000 feet -- neither higher nor lower -- and to parachute safely back to Earth.

Dr. Connolly is joined by Dr. Dennis Irwin, dean of the Russ College of Engineering at Ohio University in making last-minute checks. Dr. Irwin is regularly involved with the ISU SSP and is the reason it came yo be in Athens, Ohio -- a much smaller place than the cities where it is usually held.

In the manner of Robert Goddard
