Rocket Day is part of Sciencefest. Los Alamos Kiwanis is supplying electronic equipment to facilitate a massive launch of up to 50 rockets in rapid succession. The rockets will be collected and new rockets set up to launch again. The first launch is expected to be at 11 a.m., with more than 200 rockets launched during the day. Many local elementary school students helped make the rockets. Courtesy photo
