What an incredible fleet of rockets you launched into our inbox this month! Each design showed a different way to turn everyday scraps into something extraordinary. Some rockets looked ready for deep-space exploration, others carried alien crews, and a few were so beautifully decorated they could have flown straight into a sci-fi story. We loved every imaginative detail and were truly inspired by your creativity. Choosing our winners was no easy task – every entry had its own spark.
“Hello! I am rocket 13 Catmobile. I am setting off from Planet Earth to go to the moon to collect moon rocks to see if they are cheese. It is a very important mission.

"I found lots of recycled materials in my house. All they needed was cutting into shape and painting."

Thank you to every reader who did the research and made the case for their champion.
