Blasting off beyond the stars, into unknown galaxies, not simply a dream of  
young children but the dream of youthful adventurers and explorers.  The future 
holds mysteries that only those who dare to explore and invent can imagine.  
The first known rockets are thought to have been used by the Chinese 
in the 1200's, around 800 years ago.  The Saturn V rocket (1960's ) is the largest rocket ever built.   It had five rocket engines,  was taller than a thirty story 
building and took the first men to the moon.
