Roaring Rockets

By Rob Colson

Book Overview

Rockets are flying objects powered by an explosive mix of fuel. While the first rockets were developed for war--over 1,000 years ago!--they eventually made space exploration possible. This visually appealing volume gives readers an overview of the development of rockets. Statistics, timelines, infographics, and diagrams explaining technology concepts will inspire vehicle fans and budding engineers alike. A concluding Speed File graphic organizer helps young engineers compare record-setting speeds of historic rockets.
