The Mars rover has definitely made a lot of people excited about space, and people want to learn all about it.
Lucky for us, we have a place where people can learn to their hearts' content -- Clark Planetarium.
Budah stopped by to talk with Cynthia Checketts who showed him a rocket in a bottle.
She set up two bottles and added isopropyl alcohol to one of the jugs.
When the alcohol vapors mix with air it becomes volatile.
Then when a match is dropped into the bottle, the vapor ignited quickly and rushed out of the opening creating a flame and a loud "whoosh" sound.
You can find more of these cool science experiments at clarkplanetarium.org, just click on "Virtual Events".
