My dog has always wanted to go to the Moon, and I'm ready to grant him that wish. He's about 15 lbs., lots of hair, but I think he could be pretty aerodynamic in the right rocket setup. Anyone know how to build a rocket that could take my dog to the moon? Thanks,

Take a look at the Armadillo Aerospace web page. Especially read the highly detailed News Archive. They have an extreme amount of detail on how they are building their rockets, with sentences like, "To give some expansion capability and make welding easier, each baffle is attached to the tank by 16 tabs of 1/8” thick aluminum, slightly bent up to allow them to flex. The slosh baffles leave an open ring at the edge to allow propellant to drain."

How do you know your dog wants to go to the Moon ? Do you talk to him ? Does he talk to you ? Do other animals talk to you ?
Do you wear tinfoil on your head to stop Alien brain beams ?
You have MUCH bigger problems than building a rocket Guy !

you'll need like a Z engine (and the highest grade without a permit is G) as far as model rocket engines go. And I know you're joking anyway.

Buy some duct tape, a potato and a really big bottle rocket.

Sorry, Major Tom. You may want to model your prototype after Snoopy's doghouse. I have heard that it has some amazing aerodynamic qualities.

Lots of balsa wood and a gallon of glue.

Sounds good but you may want to try a few suborbital flights with him first.
