How to do it

Order the kit. Weekend 1: unbox everything, sort the parts, read the instructions together. Weekend 2: build the rocket — slow, careful, no shortcuts. Weekend 3: paint and decorate. Weekend 4: drive to a big open field and launch it. Bring a camera. The launch is short. The build is the relationship.
