Ky Michaelson returned to the program to discuss his new book, "Rocketman: My Rocket-Propelled Life and High-Octane Creations." This book is widely available and I urge listeners to buy and read it, and by listening to this show, you will understand the why of my recommendation. Visit Ky's website at www.the-rockeman.com. His email address is order@kytec.us. During this program, Ky related to us many of his stories and adventures with speed, cars, rockets, and space. Many listeners asked him about custom making a rocket item for them and as you will hear, his biggest concern in doing so is liability. Safety concerns were primary as well. We had several callers from Ky's past adventures and experiences and you will want to hear them and what they have to say. A listener asked both Ky and the caller about rocket racing .You will want to hear what both said regarding this new, emerging sport. Other listeners asked him about the difficulty and the costs involved in launching a rocket to space. In his reply, he pointed out that its only been done one time since and that serves to demonstrate the challenges for anyone wanting to do this. He told us he had hoped that his doing it would open the way for others to follow, but so far the reality is that has not happened. Ky told us some great stories that are in the book, such as buying a rocket or missile from an SR71 as he was passing Edwards AFB. We talked about going 300 mph and what that was like. This information is also in his book. Ky also shared with us his plans for Bonneville next year. You do not want to miss hearing him tell about about what he will do at that 2008 event. These two hours with Ky Michaelson is entertaining, important, valuable, and clearly informative. You can send your comments or questions to him at order@kytec.us.
