Hi Rocket Folks:
It was brought to my attention earlier today that some of you who might be
planning to attend NSL/ROCStock and have not been to one of our launches before
might benefit from a little explanation about dogs at the launch site.
In general, we are a dog-friendly group, but we encourage anyone thinking of
bringing their pet out to the launch to think twice and consider a couple of
important considerations:
* Dogs can't be permitted to run unleashed, even though the lakebed is a huge
piece of real estate. We really can't deal with animals running
around/pooping/getting amorous either in our active launch area or in the
spectator/camping areas.
* Dogs who are tethered to keep them from wandering may be very uncomfortable.
The combination of extreme temperatures, alkaline soil, blowing dust and loud
noises can make your pooch miserable.
So while it's not impossible to bring your pet and have a successful weekend,
you need to give serious thought to whether you can make it a pleasant
experience for the pet and for those around you. Thanks for your
consideration, and now go back to building your rockets!
