Crayola Rockets
Mon, February 22, 2010 
Since 1998, John Coker has been developing these Crayola rockets. Coker has always been fond of making things explode, but it wasn't until a friend told him that his rockets looked like crayons that John began to develop the Crayola rocket pack.
I used to enjoy building rockets when I was a kid, but after a 20-year absence I found a much-expanded hobby with much larger, more exciting and more dangerous rockets for bigger boys. Since a friend pointed out that my rockets looked like a crayon, I've had the idea in back of my mind to build a crayon rocket. Not just a crayon rocket, but a pack of Crayola crayon rockets. On the day, the crayons went pretty high and we think they got to 2928 feet.
Unfortunately, during this last test, only four of the eight rockets fired. Too bad. They were probably the lame colors that nobody wanted to use anyway.
