Rick,
The latter part of your post described the situation best. These gentlemen were
spectators only, but were certainly intoxicated. I didn't have too much of a
problem with the drinking , but I am 110% anti-drugs. I feel that if you cannot
just walk into a store and purchase it over the counter then to me it is an
illegal drug. I will absolutely let someone know the next time if and when it
happens.

Chris,
I don't blame you, at all, for taking off at that point, but I wish you had let
us know that was going on. Drug and alcohol abuse is definitely NOT tolerated
at our launches, and we would have made sure to stop it, had we been aware of
it. The safety and well-being of all of our attendees is paramount.
ROC tries very hard to be a safe, family-friendly environment, but we need
everyone's help to keep it that way. If anyone sees something going on that
jeopardizes our ability to do that, then I encourage them to please let a ROC
Board Member know, so that we can take immediate action to fix the problem.
(On the flip side, if you're a responsible adult, and want to enjoy an adult
beverage after you're done participating in rocket-related activities for the
day, and you do so without becoming a nuisance to anyone else, or presenting a
safety hazard to yourself or others, then it's none of our business, and we'll
leave you alone.)
Thanks,
Rick Dickinson
ROC President
