Regarding amateur experiments with 'real' rockets, the Fed have passed a plethora of laws effectively resticting what non-governmental bodies may investigate. See 14 CFR PART 101, 22 CFR Sec. 121.16 and 49 CFR Sec. 173.88. I guess I can't play with matches anymore. Thank you Congress.
What precisely do those laws say? As a scientist, I have somewhat of an interest in such subjects, and I don't have very good access to legal databases. (For instance, I tried the Library of Congress search system for laws passed since 1973... and the thing's indexed by _title_ of legislation, not the more standard designation you gave...). Thanks, -Allen
