I agree that maybe both is the way to go. I'm usually on vacation in
July so I may make one or the other or neither.

What does everyone think about moving the normal July launch (July 13)
to the following Sat., July 20th?
I dropped the ball on this as it was suggested to me many months ago.
Its certainly not too late to plan this. I will make sure it's on the
agenda for the next Board meeting And if it's a go, we'll start the
process to adjust the FAA COA and BLM permit date.
Please respond to this thread as it will reflect just how much interest
there is among everyone.
Thanks,
Mike Ostby,

At the meeting, David EW asked about having a waiver for July 20th next
year. It will be a Saturday and the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11
landing on the Moon.
I didn’t say anything about this at the meeting, and I regret that
David. I hope the Board gets this done. I think others support this as
well.
Honestly, I’m disappointed that there wasn’t a ROC launch already
planned for that day and that NSL wasn’t going to be held then. I’m
speaking for myself; this is my opinion. I have a feeling that many people
don’t understand the importance of the past space program which included
Apollo and this particular achievement. That is, how important it is to
some people that lived it. I started thinking this when I saw a suggestion
for a Saturn V drag race when holding NSL was announced. Please don’t be
offended, and I hope you understand that this thing is just more
significant to some people than others. For some of us, it changed our
lives in a big way.
Anyway, July 20th of next year is an important date. If others want to
celebrate the 50th anniversary on another day, that’s cool and I hope it’s
fun. BTW: you can see the info that NAR has on their website about the
50th anniversary and what they hope clubs are doing that day.
