Model rocketry grew rapidly in the 1950's with the wave of interest in the new space age. It introduced rocketry while using safe, commercially available motors, and thus avoided the dangers of mixing ones own propellants. It is a popular hobby both for adults and young people.
High power rocketry has grown in the past few years to become a booming hobby for adults with numerous clubs and regular rocket meets. These events must obtain a special clearance from the FAAfor a given maximum altitude allowed for the day.

Amateur rocketry, however, now extends even beyond high power to Advanced Rocketry. Numerous rocketry groups are attacking amateur high altitude records and are getting close to the official borderline of space, i.e. around 100km.
Note that the participants in these efforts require advanced training and skills to deal with the dangers and complexities of building their own rocket solid rocket motors as well as liquid fuel engines and hybrids of solid and liquid propellents.
