Well, he seems to have earned his nickname.  

I didn't know steam powered rockets could go 62 miles up.

They come down OK though with gravity.

Everyone should follow their dreams, but I think he watched too many Roadrunner-Wiley Coyote cartoons.

I wonder if he ever took any physics classes?  I think he made a mistake calculating his required escape velocity.  Steam??
