No it's not a crazy idea it's my job I'm Rodman Law daredevil when ready Sam You may light the fuse LUIIIIII
CLANG BOOM 5
That definitely didn’t go as planned I bet I’m the first guy to try flying in a rocket OK OK there’s a sketchy story about a Turkish guy who did it in 1633 but come on 1633 I’m not buying it so I’m claiming the title 6
Anyway I wasn’t the last About a half century later people started to get the hang of rocket riding and in 1969 three Americans rode a rocket all the way to the surface of the moon and back That moon landing story is the reason for this book and I figure I’m the best one to tell it It’s not entirely clear when and how the first rockets were invented About the first century the Chinese invented gunpowder They eventually had the idea to load it into bamboo tubes close one end attach them to sticks and then light the gunpowder Away they flew Yeah it kinda resembles my skyrocket 7
