Modelrocket Stories

Fly me to the Moon is a short story which I have written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. David Wilson was eleven years old on the day that the Eagle landed on the moon, an event that was to dominate his life. His mother allowed him to stay up late to watch Neil Armstrong take his giant leap for mankind. David's journey begins with him making model rockets to impress his peers, and culminates 50 years later, on the anniversary of man walking on the moon.
