Along for the ride in this endeavour are two sons eager to complete the legacies of their fathers: Kelly Knievel, who was present the day of the crash, and rocket designer Scott Truax, whose dad constructed the original rocket cycle for Knievel.
"With this re-creation, it is my intent to clear his name and tell his amazing story," Scott Truax said in an email. "I like to think that instead of looking up at the rocket launch, he and Evel will be looking down on it and that's a much better view."
