Steve Bennett (entrepreneur)
Steve Bennett is the leader of Starchaser,[1] a rocket building program once in competition for the Ansari X Prize.[2]
Bennett was born in England and was fascinated by rockets from an early age,[3] especially from seeing man’s first walk on the moon. From the age of ten he was building rockets in his back yard powered by sugar and other readily available ingredients.[citation needed]
Later in life he was funded by a British sugar manufacturer in his efforts to capture the X-prize.
