We drew plans and made experiments with various propellants, from baking soda/vinegar mixture to gasoline. We never got any further than to create the very tip of the nose cone by melting some plastic trash in a bonfire and then pour it into a clay mold. But we had a lot of fun, although my parents got slightly worried when they learned that we had tried to make one liter of gas explode inside a metal container with stabiliser fins to see how high it would fly... It's great to see that some actually did what we hoped to do! When I was in grade 2 I started building a moon rocket with some friends.

And of course girls can't be fighter pilots, that's just silly. I stopped thinking about being an astronaut when I was six or seven, and someone told me you had to be a fighter pilot first.
