Sport launching can be as casual as sending up a half-dozen B-powered rockets at the local ballfield or as exciting as attending one of the annual National Sport Launches (NSL). At an NSL, scores of modelers of all ages from around the country attend to launch hundreds of rockets. Models of all shapes and sizes are launched over the course of a three-day weekend! The NAR’s annual National Sport Launches (NSL) are held in a different areas of the country each year to make these events more accessible to all NAR members. Some of our more recent NSL’s have been held at superb launch fields in New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts, and Tennessee. NAR competition dates back to the beginning of the NAR.

Ranbir Kapoor to make a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's web show Stardom? Rajit Kapur, Manav Vij's Birha gets selected at The Ottawa Indian Film Festival Awards The timeline of events is not as easily decipherable in Rocketry: The Nambi Effectas it is in the previous paragraph. What is obvious from the film, however, is that even extraordinary realities can be reduced to ordinary cinema when subjected to average treatment. Rocketry invests next to nothing in those around him – not even in his legendary mentor and the Father of India’s Space Programme, With everyone else diminished to a mere sidelight in the narrative, Madhavan’s envisioning of Narayanan comes across as made-for-cinema rather than real. The film portrays the gentleman not just as a genius, but also as a deshbhakti. Maybe he genuinely is/was all the above, but Rocketry does not make any of these characteristics convincing. Bond’s shenanigans are fun because the series does not pretend to be true-to-life. Rocketry seems not to know whether to pitch itself as realistic or larger-than-life. The film’s Hollywood-style patriotism further robs it of credibility. Rocketry’s deshbhakti is not the kind currently in vogue in Bollywood (possibly because it is not a Bollywood film, but has emerged from the Tamil film industry): it is not hate-filled, anti-minority or intentionally divisive. Instead, its idea of love for the country is the kind that lazy writers of American mainstream cinema have favoured for ...
