Watch the video version for audio narration:

Once upon a time there was a brave boy with stars in his eyes, who dreamed of building a rocket that could fly him to the moon.

The boy searched in many places for parts that could become a cockpit, thruster, or ejecter seat.

He spent his time carefully soldering, wiring, and shaping the rocket.

As it grew, so did his dreams.

Even on days when the sky was heavy and grey, and the world was a little too loud, the boy kept building.

He painted the rocket a bright shade of blue, repainting and repainting, whenever the rain ran.

He wanted so badly to explore the wild, wonderful universe waiting far beyond the world that held him.
