The pitch was; \u201cThe main story opens with people staring at the October sky in 1957 trying to see Sputnik. We will then focus on a group of young high school kids (wearing Levi\u2019s) with a passion for building rockets. They will be taught about rockets by teachers in a rocket club and build and launch model rockets.\u201d The photographer found several scenes of old classrooms, labs and garage workshops in which to stage shots. We had plenty of vintage rockets for props and did a launch for them. It\u2019s a bit strange to be able to readily provide authentic fifty year old model rocket equipment, but the recreation was very realistic. It may be the first professionally staged scenes that are digitally imaged of early rocket club launches.<a href=\"http:\/\/hararocketry.org\/hara\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/iDSC_0260-2c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2438 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/hararocketry.org\/hara\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/iDSC_0260-2c-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hararocketry.org\/hara\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/iDSC_0260-2c-207x300.jpg 207w, http:\/\/hararocketry.org\/hara\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/iDSC_0260-2c.jpg 707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pictures will be compiled into a book that\u2019s distributed to their prime retailers to be released next spring.
