Boor & Rocketman
You ever think about how to build a rocket that actually takes off before the coffee's gone? Let's cut the fluff, get a solid motor together, and make it so simple you could launch it from a porch.
Sure thing, coffee’s already steaming out the cup. Let’s fire up the porch launchpad: mix a solid propellant with a 1.5:1 oxidizer‑to‑fuel ratio, keep the grain geometry simple, and use a carbon‑fiber casing. Add a small thrust chamber, a basic nozzle, and a quick‑release safety valve. That gives us a 20‑kilonewton thrust, 0.5 seconds burn, and a thrust‑to‑weight ratio that’s barely over one. I’ll rig the ignition circuit—just a few copper wires, a battery, and a spark plug. While I set the timing, the houseplant on the sill will listen, it’s the best audience I’ve got. We’ll be off the porch in under a minute, before your coffee’s gone cold. Ready to launch?
Alright, keep that plant out of the blast radius. Fire it up and watch the numbers. No fluff. Let's get this thing off the porch.
