Michael's Writing

The Mercury-Redstone Rocket


It used to be a space fight rocket. Until lots of rockets passed the Saturn-v rocket started to take over. It was used for the Apollo missions and maybe other things that I don't know. But now we just launch space shuttles to sent people to the international space station. Now they plan to send people to Mars and astroids and research them and I like the idea of making tractor beams. Back to the redstone rockets the capsule had a tiny inside, one man obviously, It can get into orbit and do other stuff. It also had tiny rockets on the bottom of the fuel tank witch are powerful. It has a lot of switched and fuses it even has an gyroscope! and other cameras on the capsule. That all that I can remember learning.
