Rocket Science for Dummies

Sounds kinda funny, yes?  They always say "it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out."  Rocket science for dummies sounds funny.  I thought it may make a good joke.  Anyway, I've been fooling around with the rocket equation and I figure I could use one of those books.  It might be easier just to defer to a rocket scientist after all and not try to figure certain things out.

I've been trying to figure out how an airship can get to orbit.  Even though I don't understand it, just fooling around with these equations and numbers gives you some ideas.  I'm too old to go back to school and learn how to be a rocket scientist though.
