Thank you! I am old :( What about a more simple rocket - only the one stage? without a guidance system? These are 6th graders...they like things that go boom. Robert Frost is awesome, but their appreciation for philosophy has not yet developed :)

I once read that if the Apollo 11 rocket had been misaligned by even half a degree on the launch pad that the lunar landing would not have happened. I would like to find this information again to use it as an example for my students in their life planning, i.e. if they make small mistakes now...
