Synopsis

Click.

The moment your finger depresses the button, you regret it. Perhaps it would been better to aim the rocket away from Mother's vegetable garden and greenhouse, or move a bit farther away from the workshop before testing it. And maybe it would have been a good idea to tell Dad first...

Has some good stuff (the Heinleinian story and some puzzles, for example), but suffers from pacing problems: It starts out with a very slow phase in which you simply have to real. A lot. Later, you have to apply all that knowledge acquired earlier all of sudden in a time critical manner.
