Build a Rocket - Programming Puzzles

This isn't rocket science. LoL

Write a program or function that takes in a single-line string. You can assume it only contains printable ASCII. Print or return a string of an ASCII art rocket such as

   |
  /_\
  |I|
  |N|
  |D|
  |I|
  |A|
  |_|
 /___\
  VvV

with the input string written from top to bottom on the fuselage. In this case the input was Earth. The height of the rocket (including flames) is always the length of the string plus five.

More Examples:

[empty string]

  |
 /_\
 |_|
/___\
 VvV

a

  |
 /_\
 |a|
 |_|
/___\
 VvV


SPACE

  |
 /_\
 |S|
 |P|
 |A|
 |C|
 |E|
 |_|
/___\
 VvV

        private static void rocket(string p)
        {
            int i = 0;
            Console.Write("  |\n /_\\\n");
            while (i < p.Length)
                Console.Write(" |{0}|\n", p[i++]);
