STOMP ROCKETS

Isaac Reinhold, 8, of Traverse City launches his stomp rocket in the parking lot of the Traverse Area District Library East Bay Branch. The rocket construction was led by Keith Kelly, an instructor in the Northwestern Michigan College robotics program, and participants were able to keep the launch device made from PVC pipes and two-liter pop bottles after listening to stories read by author and illustrator Brianne Farley. On Tuesday, July 16, Space Camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala, is encouraging people to launch their own rockets to help recognize the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 with it's Global Rocket Launch event in honor of the first successful manned trip to the moon.
