Do you dispute that Carmack built rockets?

Have you read Masters of Doom or even Googled the question?

Indeed, he was part of a team that built rockets. I even said his role was unclear to me. Can you link to any document detailing his involvement?

Edit: Please don't take this as a diss on his work. Just because one didn't play a role in designing the rockets, doesn't mean they were not crucial to the project.
