Did this for my physics A-level coursework.

0-200MPH in 0.2 seconds





Are you a Mac user or a retard?

I promise it's not in the least bit safe.

If you launched it while leaning over it I'm sure it would smash your face in/off/up. I guy from Japan once straped about 6 to his back and they him 30+ feet into the air. Got a video of it somewhere.

And I'll let you guess what the results of a 50Mph terminal velcoity landing would do if it hit you on the head on the way back down.

The director of the 6th form I was at wasn't too impressed with a few close calls involving his car roof and my rocket
