Ever wanted to build a chemically propelled projectile device but were disuaded by the cost and lack of legal scapegoats in the event of injury? Here is your answer. Not only are the instructions provided without a disclaimer of any kind, but the rocket is constructed from ordinary household items (match, paperclip, pin, and some foil). Your resulting miniature craft is sure to provide hours of eye-blinding (and sibling-scaring) fun! Just don't expect to be able to carry any payload heavier than an ant, however.
