Chapters

Meet Rocky: A small, smiling red rocket with round windows stands on a grassy launch pad in a sunny park at dawn, waving with a tiny fin.

Ask Ada: Rocky talks with Ada, a friendly round launch pad robot with a blinking light and a toolbox, beside a tall checklist board.

Getting Ready: Rocky gets ready: a fuel hose fills his tank while Ada polishes his window, with a big glowing countdown clock in the background.

Blast Off: Rocky blasts off from the pad in a big puffy cloud of orange flame and white smoke while Ada and park animals cheer below.

Hello, Stars: Rocky floats happily in deep blue space surrounded by twinkling stars, a smiling moon and Earth glowing far below.
