interesting guy

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."
