Rocket racer flies!

Post by 2shae »

Don't know if this was covered on the old board but quite impressive none the less. Races will be interesting as the length of the race is longer than the amount of fuel!

Thinking back to GCSE and A level chemistry it looks like strontium is being burnt in the rocket plume.

Any idea what these things are fueled with? I hope it's a little safer than T-stoff and C-stoff in the good old days!
