Rocket Man: My Rocket Propelled Life and High Octane Creations (Hardcover)
by Ky Michaelson (Author)
The Amazon Editorial review describes the book as
"This is Ky Michaelsons story, the life of a driven-or rocket-powered-man.
Ky tells about how he began and where hes gone, about the rocket-powered
vehicles hes built, and about the homespun innovation that led to the
creation of each machine. In May 2004, Ky led the first team of civilians to
successfully launch a rocket into space. Through the pages of Rocket Man, he
shares this inspiring story of overcoming seemingly insurmountable
challenges to achieve a life-long dream. An entrancing tour of the rocketing
devices Ky devised from scuba tanks and tractor seats, wheelchairs and
flexible flyers, Rocket Man also brings to vibrant, immediate life the
brilliant, determined, eccentric man whose will was enough to launch him
into space, stardom, and history."
