I helped my youngest daughter and a couple of her classmates (9th grade) make a launcher and single stage soda bottle rocket for a class final exam over last weekend. I had no idea that by doing that I truly got to experience 'rocket science' at a very modest and humbling beginner level. I'm looking forward to reading and learning from this forum and taking a shot at building larger rockets.
