how not to make a rocket

first
take a rocket motor
and make some fins with a pizza box
tape them on however u want
roll a paper nose cone
and tape it on
cut a short piece of a straw
and tape it onto the side
your rocket is now ready to launch!

if your dumb little buddies make this and destroy something, i take no resposibility, i blame it on nathan because he told me to put it here

this is my first instructable, so forgive the fact that there's only one page. critisizm (s) is welcome!

that's exactly what happened!! it was so cool! it shot up into the air and spun around in circles, then fell a bit and the ejection charge went and it hit the ground i have it on tape but i don't have firewire so i can't get it onto my computer

[theosullis]

[bigpinecone]

it doesen't.

[youkneephsycle]

oh my god every1 just cut bigpinecone some slack its his first instructable, oh and mr 4th grade spelling bee put a sock in it. ive never seen a rocket motor with the fins stuck straight to it and actually think it is quite practical, bigpinecone well done!

[ultrauber]

that's funny...,this was made as a joke (as indicated by the title)

i did this once, but it was with a tripod from a cheap telescope, the rocket nearly set my neighbors house on fire. i had the engine mounted with duct tape. and the nosecone was metal.

35 years ago when I was a teen we used to put tape around a sharpened pencil so that is would just fit in a C6-0. The glue balsa fins on it and tape a straw to it and launch it. they went about 1500 feet up the turned around and came down ballistic. We would see if we could find it and see how far down the pencil wnet into the ground. Not very smart but we were kids and not thinking safety so much

[gunmanx]

well i juz asked a question i wasent being dumb or ar u juz mentaly retarted enuf to think tht

[Loveofchaos]

Please, you don't need to shorten words so much that they are incomprehensible. It is easier to type just than juz, juz totally throws you off, so in a way, you are making things take longer when they could be shorter. Less letters do not always mean shorter unless you're a "hunt-and-peck" style typer.

[bigpinecone]

go here please

If I were you, I'd clean up these comments by "ouch!!!!!!!!l!!!" If you go into the "Edit" page for this Instructable, you'll find an option to delete his comments.

[carbon]

I'd include some instructions for how to roll a paper cone. Seriously! Some people don't know how! :P Maybe I'll make an entire Instructable about that. More likely that I'll make it a forum topic.

[bigpinecone]

yeah, it would be better if it was some kind of instructable or sumtin, i'll help if u want

[carbon]

Nah, I can handle it. I'll first ask in the forums if anybody would like to see it as an Instructable. Thanks for offering, though. It'll probably be posted tomorrow, along with another Instructable of mine. ; ) Think levitation.

[bigpinecone]

hehehehe i like levitation

[chatterbox14730]

calm yourself bigpinecone

[reeding]

what the dude?
