I was recently re-watching the movie 'October Sky' with a young Jake Gyllenhaal, and one might have imagined that it would have been this guy, barely hitting puberty, who was fashioning Crayola crayon rockets. But no, it was a much more mature individual (I use that word lightly).
But I guess John Coker was a lot younger six years ago when he first decided to create these Crayola crayon rockets. For detailed information on how he executed this impressive endeavor (childish or not), visit his site via the link below.
