[Hikes in Rain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Classic kid science fiction from way back. A group of brainy kids do what the scientist of Earth can't. Invent a space drive from scrap parts just lying around, put it into a homemade spaceship of their own design, and borrow a satellite. Of course, they put it back after they get caught. But they didn't do anything wrong. Well, hardly..

A good fun story well worth listening to. The story is told in a first person conversational style.

The narrator is well spoken, her voice is clear and easy to listen to.
The recording good is clean with out any background noises. There plenty of volume.

Part of LibriVox Short Science Fiction Collection 013 narrated by Betsie Bush 10:42 . Fairly good kids story.

O.K. I'll admit I chuckled a bit.

Just some Silly Kids, putting together a bunch of Spare Parts and Junk and flying off into Space.

Good fun.

Reminds me of the book, and movie, "The Mouse On the Moon" written by Leonard Wibberley. In that story Professor Konkintz builds a Rocket Ship out of Spare Parts and indoor Plumbing components, and uses as a propellant, Pinet Grand Fenwick-Premier Wine, which is explosive.
