What happens to you when you’re 10 makes a big impression

Steve Eves was 10 years old in 1969. That summer, the Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the moon.

Last Saturday, Eves set a new amateur rocketry record when he launched his 1/10th scale replica of the Saturn V rocket from a farm in Maryland.

The model Saturn V was 36 feet tall, weighed 1,600 pounds, and flew to a height of almost a mile (4400 feet).

A man’s got to have a hobby . . .
