Rockets

This story is not about space, exactly. But it is about rockets the model kind and the kids who may grow up to launch the real [thing:wing] into space someday. A trio of teenage Texas model rocketeers beat out teams from France and the U.K. to claim top honors at this fear'[year's:s] International Rocketry Competition. The U.S. team, from a 4-H club in Georgetown, Texas, won the June 21st fly-off at the Paris Air Show. They earned their spot in the international showdown by besting 99 other American teams. The contest required [rocket:socket] kids to send a [raw:claw] egg into the sky, as close to 750 feet altitude as possible, in a flight lasting between 48 and 50 seconds and bring the egg [safely:badly] back to earth.
