Oregon Man Set For Self-Launch In Own Rocket
By Mary Roach SPACE.com

See Brian Walker's Site at
rocketguy.com

Sometime in the spring of 2002, a man who has somehow become known to the world as "Rocket Guy" plans to launch himself 30 miles (48 kilometers) straight up in a rocket of his own making.

Unlike NASA , Walker, a Bend, Oregon toy inventor, can,t afford to build and launch test rockets. The first one he builds is the one he,ll fly in. He will be his own monkey -- just as he will be his own mission control, copilot, draftsman, flight engineer, pressurized-fuel-tank maker and sectional-fin engineer and builder, not to mention publicist. Brian Walker likes to do things his way.
