Question

Is it pasibul to make a roket for one person?.

Answer

Hello, Michael. Yes. It is very possible to build a rocket that will carry one person. In fact, the first such rocket was built and flown over 60 years ago, but so far the persons flying them must be trained pilots and it is very, very expensive. There is a lot of interest in making rocket and space flight available to ordinary people like you and me. In fact there is a contest for the first design of a personal rocket that will let a person fly to the edge of space and back safely. It will be a long time before it is possible to be a tourist in space, but perhaps by the time you become a young adult, such adventures may be possible.
