Found one: _Space for Everyone_ by Philip S. Egan, 1961, Rand McNally & co. Looks like a pretty good kid's book (I doubt you'll ever find it though). Another was a storybook: _There's Adventure in Rockets_ (can't lay hands on this one, so I don't have the author's name), published in the late fifties. It described a model rocketry club of kids building metal model rockets and flying them on a friendly farmer's farm! Sounds rather dangerous. rfc
