Eves was captivated with space travel. "Nobody ever built a rocket that did what the Saturn V did for this country," he said. "It was a victory." Decades later, the Saturn V is serving as inspiration for Eves' most-epic project: Launching a 1,700-pound rocket powered by nine motors. Projected to reach about 4,000 feet, the rocket, 40 inches in diameter, will be propelled by solid-rocket fuel, generating an estimated 8,000 pounds of thrust and blazing a 30-foot trail of fire. Assembled by crane at the launch site on farmland in Price, Md., the rocket will be attached to a 50-foot steel-framed tower. Four military-style parachutes, each 28 feet in diameter, will bring the 20-foot stage back to Earth. The amateur rocket is a 1/10 scale version of the legendary NASA rocket.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <CENTER><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/eves_saturnv01.jpg" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="300"></CENTER> <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Rockets Magazine[/i] is the main sponsor.
