At some point the label of amateur starts costing more than the value the achievements bring.

The value is in educating the next generation of rocketmen.

idk what "value" people expect out of a model rocket, anyway. Of course SpaceX or NASA is sending things to orbit. The value is you get to have fun launching things into space yourself!
