## Description

This book teaches the reader to build rockets--powered by compressed air, water, and solid propellant--with the maximum possible fun, safety, and educational experience. 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. Most of the rockets in the book can be built from parts in the Estes Designer Special kit.

Review: 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.
