Dear Journal,
My three-stage rocket test was successful today. Let me describe this great accomplishment. The bottom stage was ignited and blasted off the ground perfectly. It let out gas and slowly burned to the first stage. After the first stage completed, the fire ignited the powder in the bottom of the second stage which soon burned to the third stage. The three stages work to lessen the rocket's overall weight and increase the distance it can travel. Accompanying the three rocket stages at the top was a small powder keg I had placed which will blow up any unlucky enemies who encounter it. But on my next flight, the powder keg will be replaced by a small cylindrical house with a roof, door and window. In the future, there will be many such houses, bigger than my of course.
