The Rocket's Hard Truth (ロケットの
Summary[]
The chapter begins with the globetrotting team heading for Australia to collect the aluminum ore (bauxite) for the body of the rocket ship. After weathering a storm, they arrive on the northern tip of Australia. Chrome challenges Chelsea to a rock-finding competition, but Chelsea says it won't be much of one given the ground they're standing on is made of it.
The Kingdom of Science begin reviving people and mining the ore, when Ryusui mentions wanting a bucket-wheel excavator. Unfortunately, they only have manpower and a dwindling supply of Revival Fluid. Perfectly timed, Ukyo and Yo arrive on a boat carrying a supply of corn, along with the petrification device from Treasure Island.
Replacing the battery with one of Kaseki's, they realize that it wasn't Kaseki crafting skill that was preventing the device working, but rather that it was too damaged to activate. Having a working device is the key component to Senku's current plan: rushing up in a rocket, without a return plan and petrifying themselves on the moon, waiting for humanity to bring them back.

Chapter Notes[]
- The team plans on starting to make the body of the rocket ship.
- Senku and the others arrive in Australia.
- Bauxite is found and mined using the manpower revived in Australia.
- Ukyo and Yo arrive from Corn City, delivering corn for revival fluid and the petrification device Joel held.
- That device is the only one that works, as the ones in South America are too old and damaged.
- Senku plans to send a pilot, a fighter, and a scientist up to the moon to stop Why-man, then use the working device to petrify themselves and await recovery when humanity reaches the point of being able to make round-trips to the moon.
- The picture could imply that Senku plans for himself, Ryusui and Tsukasa to make the sacrifice.
Trivia[]
- Page 1 depicts Suika in her full melon helmet rather than her melon collar.
