One man's quest to honor America's Saturn V rocket,
"On April 25, 2009, history will be made. At Higgs Farm in Price, Maryland, Steve Eves will enter the history books as the person who flew the largest model rocket in history. The rocket will weigh over 1,600 pounds, it will stand over 36 feet tall and it will be powered by a massive array of nine motors: eight 13,000ns N-Class motors and a 77,000ns P-Class motor. The estimated altitude of this single stage effort will be between 3,000 and 4,000 feet and the project will be recovered at apogee."

On the evening of July 20, 1969, eleven-year-old Steve Eves and his father, Donald, stepped out of their home in northern Ohio to gaze into the night sky. Above them, nearly a quarter of a million miles away, three American astronauts—one in a small space capsule circling the moon and two more on the lunar surface—had just achieved the greatest scientific accomplishment of modern times—maybe of all times—by safely reaching, landing, and now walking on the surface of the moon. A few hours earlier, on a small television screen in their house, Eves and his father had witnessed the seemingly impossible—men walking on another world—and they now looked toward the stars with a new sense of wonder, and pride.
