The Rocketry Game

For your entertainment, the CFPMS ThinkQuest Team has created an interactive game related to rocketry. The object - pilot a rocket through air traffic to reach escape velocity - 13 kilometers per second. As long as the rocket is moving, it will accelerate. Collisions will slow it down, and there is only a limited amount of fuel to leave Earth.
