Make: Rockets is for all the science geeks who look at the moon and try to figure out where Neil Armstrong walked, watch in awe as rockets lift off, and want to fly their own model rockets. Starting with the basics of rocket propulsion, readers will start out making rockets made from stuff lying around the house, and then move on up to air-, water-, and solid propellant-powered rockets. Review: Helpful and informative - If you like building, and have an interest in rocketry, you’re going to love the tips and information. Its fantastic.

Leitura mais que recomendada para quem quer lançar espaço-modelos
Apesar do livro dizer sobre foguetes, seu foco são os espaço-modelos, que usam motores comerciais e tem muitas informações para quem quer iniciar nesse maravilhoso e desafiador hobby.

Amazing value - a must if you have any interests in learning about rockets
Wow. This book is far more than we were expecting. It's about 3cm thick, with hundreds and hundreds of detailed pages and packed full of everything you need to know. It's like an encyclopedia of everything you need to know to make and fly rockets, starting with the very basics and getting into lots of technical details about all manner of things, so you learn about the science behind everything you're doing with practical explanation and opportunity to learn. This will keep us busy for years, if not for ever.

Excellent Reference for Model Rocketry
This is an excellent reference for model rocketry. The book is full of images, charts, formulas, etc as well as many do-it-yourself projects that you can build and step-by-step instructions for building rockets and related components. There is also source code for programs that you can use and a list of sources of materials and information to make rockets.
