If you’re interested in propellants, read “Ignition: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants” by John D. Clark (available on Kindle). Trivia – Chlorine Trifluoride is hypergolic with “cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water…”
The ‘Understanding Propellants’ paper doesn’t even mention where to not launch it? Ah well, go set the place on fire, like in ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’1

noticed the plug in to the electrical outlet….wouldn’t the energy needed to launch said rocket black out the house?

I know it’s Lio, but maybe start with something a tad smaller? Like those pump up, water rockets.

The first thing to understand about propellants is to not stand right there when launching it. You’ll get a lesson.

Kids these days. When I was in school, we sniffed propellants, not study them.

You know, I never noticed the “Show all comments” link at the bottom of the strip. I seem to have missed out on a lot.

Standing where he’s at, he’ll get a snootful of ‘understanding’ of propellants..
