Overview
Explore the fascinating world of rockets and learn about the historical stages of development, the scientists launching them, how they're designed and where these amazing machines may take us next. Just think what the world would be like if rockets were never invented - no internet access, it would take hours to make international calls and you couldn't watch live TV from around the world. According to theorists, rockets were first created over 1000 years ago by the ancient Chinese who filled bamboo tubes with gunpowder- this basic concept ultimately evolved into the designs that took American astronauts to the moon. This captivating 32-page book is filled with interesting facts, full-color photographs and illustrations and contains parts and templates to make your own launch pad and rocket.Book Details
