BRIAN WALKER
Name: Brian Walker
Born: 30 May 1956
Brian Walker is a toy inventor from Bend, Oregon who is known for having
built his own rocket and as the inventor of several toys, namely the air bazooka.
His rocket is known as Project R.U.S.H., which stands for Rapid Up Super High.
It is fueled by hydrogen peroxide and is equipped with parachutes for use when
landing. The goal of the project is to launch Walker 50 miles into the sky. He
currently is waiting for approval to launch 20 miles in a rocket-propelled
aircraft from the world's largest crossbow.
Walker has been interviewed by several media personalities, including novelist
Chuck Palahniuk, who included his interview with Walker in his book Stranger
Than Fiction: True Stories.
Note that no large rocket has ever been launched by this individual, and that he
has not yet made any of the hydrogen peroxide propellant, essential to flight.
This task is both difficult and dangerous. The closest he has come to building a
rocket is to make a few hydrogen peroxide motors which are useless without
propellant.
