“	You got it, V-Man!	”
–Rocket

Rocket is Vinnie's best friend built by his dad for his 13th birthday. His body colour is orange with blue accents (blue and white accents in the book), and his eyes are crystal.

Personality

He's trustworthy and fiercely relies on assistance, always prepared to assist Vinnie in a situation, although sometimes over-confident in episodes such as "Mackerel Mates". He's also hyperactive and eccentric, and always says "You got it, V-Man!" whenever a situation involving Vinnie has occurred. He's loaded with a lot of attachments and features, giving him extraordinary abilities that lets him do certain tasks, similar to a robot.

One of Vinnie's best uses for Rocket is not only to be able to quickly get to his favourite places on his favourite planets in minutes or even seconds, but to also easily blast him out of most bad situations

Features

• Ability to use non-standard sources of fuel(e.g milkshakes)
• A secondary onboard computer that he uses to run PC applications without being distracted.

A mind of its own

A nosecone designed to allow for breaking through walls and ceilings.

Ability to not use a proper launchpad and instead sleep in a bed.

He sniffs and smells through a normally hidden air vent.

A dedicated microprocessor core that lets him record everything he sees and hears to a large disk partition, and can be switched to playback mode via a trimpot adjustment.

Rocket's nosecone and the area around it can change temperatures when needed, allowing him to not catch fire when re-entering the atmosphere, and also allowing him to pop popcorn.

And it includes comprehensive documentation!
