My son-in-law has a hobby of model rocketry. His name is Mark Canepa and he has written two books about rocketry. He travels to rocket launches and photographs, launches his own rocket and writes for the rocketry magazines. He published this article about a big launch that was going to take place on April 25, 2009.
He has just sent me this link to the successful launch of the largest model rocket ever launched. It is a 36' 1600 lb 1/10 scale "miniature" Saturn V rocket launch commemorating the 40th anniversary of the first landing on the moon.
The launch was April 25, 2009 and is quite amazing. Watch it if you'd like. Here's the youtube video.
