    Yvonne,

    will you use the milk containers as the launchers (like Rocket Mice does) or are they part of the rocket?

    If launcher – then the mice (the cone) actually do launch upwards (like a rocket).

    Roaring Rockets is a nice book – just watch out for the glossary that mentions “gravity boots” -it is on my pet peeve list. The astronauts wore thick soled boots because the Moon is cold! and the surface of the Moon is made of very rough, sharp and sticky rock dust that would cut through space suits. The gravity of the Moon is more than enough to keep the astronauts on the lunar surface.
