'Rocket & Roll - Adventures in Practical Rocketry' will be a unique hand-illustrated book that takes you on a learning journey from the basics of how model rockets work, all the way to how to design space-vehicles, told via stories of Ben's own rocket projects.

​

In October 2026 Ben will be launching his first book via an online 'crowd-funding' campaign. You will be able to pre-order the first edition of the book which will then be printed and shipped in the new year.

​

This lovingly crafted hardback book will feature:

​

• Stories of rocket projects from Ben's first model rocket kit in 1990 through to designing real commercial space rockets in the 2020's

• Tips and practical advice on every aspect of rocket design, construction and flight

• Over 100 hand-drawn pencil illustrations (by Ben) explaining every technical detail of the rockets in the story and the lessons learned from them

• The distilled passion and excitement of over thirty five years of rocket projects of every size and type
