Tada! Having now finished the rocket, I have added Lego skills to my resume, thereby doubling its length.

If your day was slow yesterday and you spent time wondering why there was no Day 6 report, it’s because I decided to break with tradition and rest on the sixth day, instead of the seventh, in order to build the suspense as to my progress on the rocket. Thousands of years from now archeologists will posit a multitude of hypotheses regarding the mystery surrounding the lack of documentation of events on the missing day. Books will be written. Songs will be sung. Conspiracy theories will abound.

My mission complete, and my confidence soaring, it’s now on to the next journey. I’m thinking about solving the Riemann Hypothesis, or one of the other six Millennium Prize Problems, and thereby receiving the million dollars (per problem) that the Clay Mathematics Institute has offered. Something to do while waiting for my vaccination.
