First edition page 156 paragraph onet states that Figure 23-6 shows rotation of rocket, and streaks of light indicate rotation of rocket. Next paragraph refers to using a flashing LED to get the on off steaks of light indicated by figure 23-6, same figure. So is figure 23-6 an LED on a rotating rocket, or is it a flashing LED? How does the figure depict the rotating rocket with a flashing LED? Paragraph one also mentions that there are ground steaks caused by the author walking with a flashlight; I cannot see this. Is there a figure missing?
Thanks!

Figure 2904

First edition page 195, Figure 29-4 ends with year 196. That should probably be 1969?
