For Sale: One slightly used rocket Just the other day I was saying to my wife, “You know, I’d sure like to get hold of a second hand steam-powered rocket, but you never see them for sale anywhere.” And then, out of the blue, I found one. As luck would have it, Mad Mike Hughes wants to sell his. A while back someone sent me a link to a story in ‘Scientific Method’ about ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes, a 60-year-old limo driver/stunt man from California.
