rocket power
Building high-powered model rockets is a hobby Kristen has enjoyed with her husband, Rich. Together they have built a number of impressive high-powered model rockets and launched them with the local rocket club. Most have been successfully recovered, and some have remained illusive. She has a level 1 certification from NAR and her husband is a level 2 certified rocket engineer.
