MAKE | The Making of a Maker: A Tribute to the 1970 Estes Model Rocket Catalog

In a follow-up to his rocketry reviews in the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide, Stefan Jones sent us this wonderful backstory on how he got involved in hobby rocketry. It really brought back memories for me because I was introduced to model rocketry through the same year’s Estes catalog and had a very similar reaction. I’m sure many makers of our generation had a similar experience. -Gareth
