\"Homer Hickam Jr., who built model rockets as a boy in Coalwood, W.Va., and
went on to work for NASA and write the book that inspired the movie "October
Sky," has urged Congress to exempt hobbyists.
"Rocketry is a hobby that teaches almost every science you can think of," he
said from Huntsville, Ala. "Kids love things that make noise and go whoosh.
This is an opportunity to make science exciting." "
