I just saw the astronaut farmer and so my son and me are trying to build our own rocket. This one is really more for practice and can only fit him and a parachute but its still like ten feet tall! Its going good and pretty much finished, but like farmer Im having some problems with fuel. I'm using gasoline (91 octane) cause it the only good fuel in my area (I live out in the country). The real problem is Im not sure how much I'll need. We have a 20 gal tank right behind the passenger seat but not really sure thats going to be enough to make it to space. The thing already has a decent chunk of weight from the steel tube its built in and my mothers oxygen tank which I strapped next to the passenger for when the rocket gets into space. I'm also having some trouble with lighting the damn thing. It aint no bottle rocket. I was think I should just drill a hole in the top of the tank and stuff an oily rag in their to light but I dont know. Any ideas? Serious answers only please.

i think you need to forget this idea,
dont think your SON would surive it,
if you put a hole in the top of the tank and light it,
all your going to do is Blow your son up.
