Once a year the most fearless, hardcore of all amateur rocket builders from every corner of the country gather at the premiere, high-power rocketry event - Large Dangerous Rocket Ships (L.D.R.S.).  For five days they launch more than 2,000 of the biggest cutting-edge homemade and hand-designed rockets on Earth.  Propelling tens of thousands of feet in the air in mere seconds, these rockets travel into the sky at mind-blowing speeds and so high that the FAA has to shut down airspace over the event.  All year long these rocket enthusiasts strategize, plan, tinker, and toy with science and engineering to produce some of the most insanely high-powered rockets anyone has ever seen.
