Naaaa. Maybe reckless at times (like most boys) but I really knew what I was doing with rockets - I still do. STability is the key to launching them and I knew how to test for that before I ever launched them. I just became so good at it after a few years that I was able to put on a show that most people couldn't - but it was ALWAYS safe. I mad a firing line from a 2x4 that using bus bars would allow me to fire five at one time...it was really cool. I had gotten so good at it that in 5th grade I put on a show for my elementary school during school hours. I was teaching the teachers the elements that made these things go and made them safe. A while back I did this with a 3 year old and he loved it! On launch 3 the rocket got stuck in a tree and he was bummed. I couldn't even look at him because he was so disappointed so I bought him another kit and we proceeded to launch about 40 bucks worth of engines - he thought that was really fun and cool
