Space & Rockets
From model rockets to planet facts — anything that leaves the ground.
If it flies, glows, or orbits something, I want to know how it works.
It started with one model rocket and a countdown in the backyard. Watching it shoot up and float back down on a parachute felt like magic — and I've been hooked ever since.
Now I read everything I can about planets, stars, and the missions going up right now. My favorite nights are the clear ones, when I can take the telescope outside and actually find something I read about.

Space is huge and weird and barely explored. Every fact leads to ten more questions.

A day on Venus > its year
It spins so slowly that one rotation takes longer than one trip around the Sun.
