OASIS will host a presentation this Saturday, April 29, of "Rocket 
Racers: The Sport for the 21st Century" by Doug Jones of XCOR 
Aerospace at the Long Beach Public Library, Los Altos Branch.

imagination of the world comes a new sport: Rocket-powered airplane 
racing! Spouting flames 30 feet long and traveling at hundreds of 
miles an hour, rocket racing promises to be the NASCAR of the 21st 
century.

Doug Jones, an engineer with XCOR Aerospace, describes the people and 
machines that are making rocket racing possible.
