ROCKETS AREN'T ACTUALLY THAT COOL

Or so we've heard.

Rockets are just really expensive tubes of fire that go 'up' and then 'down' again.

They're not as cool as they used to be. In fact, the only thing they're good for is getting a good view of your own backyard.

But hey, at least they're not as bad as those weird, awkwardly-shaped spaceships that NASA sent to Mars.
