It's a terrific story and very plausible if a little on the lengthy side.

I loved the conjecture about ancient and future tellings of the rocketcar legend.

* Really, really, REALLY started in the year 576 B.C., when a crazy Chinaman filled a bamboo pole with gunpowder, stuffed it up a yak's
ass, lit the fuse, then flew the Rocket Yak straight into the Great Wall.

If the Legend of the Rocket Car survives, my great-grandchildren will probably end up talking about a guy from
Lunartown who nailed an anti-matter pod onto an old Apollo moon-rover and flew into the side of Tycho Crater.
