A bottle rocket at 6,000 ft? I doubt that.

Some of the amateur rockets can get way up there. The bigger ones, which require FAA approval for launch, have set records from 50 to 70 miles high. For $100, you can get a rocket kit that, with the right motor, will easily go 7-10,000 feet, though the motors aren't sold in hobby shops.
