He can turn a 4" Von Karman with one sweep. Without a template.
While painting with a brush, every drop of paint comes off the brush and he never has to clean it.
His work bench is never cluttered, because it's self cleaning.
He never has to smell harsh fumes from glue and solvents, because the fumes go around him.
 
He once lost a rocket just to see what it felt like.

He can recite every motor designation...backwards.

NASA once called him and asked if he would fly aboard the first lunar mission. He replied no, I've already been there.

His farts smell of AP, BP or West Systems epoxy depending on his mood.
 
His launch controller is his voice. When he says "launch" the rocket does.
 
He never gets up for a bathroom break. Someone else always goes for him.
He never runs out of design ideas.
Gnats don't bother him in the launch fields.
He is the only man on the planet that can launch any sized rocket, on any given motor, successfully.
 
His epoxy always mixes to the exact right proportions, and his epoxy stays uncured until he commands it to cure. :p
 
He has a collection of liquid fueled engines he designed, built, and always fly successfully in 13-98mm., A-O impulse in the standard size cases used for our solid fuel.

His paint jobs are always flawless. He told the insects around his painting area to pull anything that might land on a wet paint job out of harms way.
 
He paints rockets with a wire brush and gets a flawless finish every time.

The Hubble space telescope was used to track his level one certification flight.

And no, he's not related to Chuck Norris...Chuck Norris is related to him.

Stay thrusty, my friends.
 
He can launch a rocket with a dead battery.
His rockets do not weathercock...unless he needs to be dramatic.
He has rocket roadies for when he is busy with his groupies.
His pop up canopy has a cooling system with a force field containment apparatus.

What an interesting rocketeer!
 
His motors don't need oxidizer.
He lost a rocket once, just to see what it felt like.
 
He once launched an N5800 off a standard estes launch rod.

A motor once CATO'd on him. After one look, it immediately reassembled itself and relit.

...He uses dual deployment in his Estes Gnome.
...Gleda Estes personally hand-rolls his body tubes.
...Contest organizers move the spot landing target to his rocket.
...The "Chicago Mafia" rocketry group line up to kiss his ring.
...Wildman stands in awe, listening to his stories.
 
He made a “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”; without a submarine.

He only got “Lost in Space” so he could spend time with Judy Robinson.
Heather Graham or Marta Kristen; you can’t go wrong.

He agreed to build “Babylon 5” after the Earth Alliance screwed up the first four.
And it came in under budget and six months ahead of schedule.
 
When he launched his Estes Venus Probe, it actually made it to Venus, and safely returned to the launch site.
His Mars Snooper was the first man made object to make it to Mars

The Moon Landing conspiracy theorists can prove he made it to the moon, not NASA.
The ATF never asks him for his LEUP, but they show him their LEUP upon request.
The FAA fills out his waiver forms for him, and re-routes air-traffic for him.
He mentored Goddard and Von-Braun.
NASA offered to build a Saturn VI just for him, but he turned them down because his rockets were better.
The Army lets him use White Sands Missile Range whenever he wants.

He's the ONLY Interesting Rocketeer in the World.

He considers “Space: Above and Beyond” as a good starting point for his rockets.

He ended the “UFO” threat in six months; which was why there was never a second season.

His rocket projects were “Space:1999” in 1979.
 
Rocket eating trees go on a diet when he is around.

He sands his rockets by taking them for a walk at the beach.

He knows the NAR Pink Book so well that even Bob Kaplow dares not argue with him.

His free flight B/Gs execute perfect landings directly in front of the returns table, so he has no need of radio control.
 
He created self healing paint for dings and scratches.
Space X is still working on his proven method of propulsive-assist landing technology.
He gets 36 hours in a day when we only get 24.
He’s coming to NSL this year and it’s going to be a perfect weekend.

Why? Because he’s the most interesting rocketeer in the world.
 
He doesn't clone scale rockets models, NASA clones his rockets.


He's never had a Hanger Queen, all his rockets are active flyers.


His active fleet is larger than all the global space programs (and a couple of alien space programs)... Combined.

He is the most interesting rocketeer in the world.
