More like extremely skilled and talented craftsmen, who would rather spend $1,500 on building a scale model rocket, rather than wasting time in geology class, dork.
Dang I looked wierd back then. I'm trying to find a recent picture.
Kinda, but mostly just boring, as you're in the friging workshop for hours making sure that the $1,500 piece of plywood, insulating tubes, and highly explosive propellants don't go wrong during flight, and fly into the pitts area killing masses of people, and severely injuring many others.
But it's fun, still. The ballistic misilles that travel at 400mph+ are fun to watch explode on takeoff.
