For Making this Rocket, You'll need following materials:

Step 2: Making Body of the ROCKET.

1. Wrap the Thin cardboard around the PVC pipe.(Keep it Slightly Loose so that it can take off easily) and join the two ends to make a cylindrical body.

2. Add the two cardboard strips at the two ends. so that it can retain its perfect Cylindrical shape and also it gives strength to the body.

2. Cut the Bottle Neck and attach it to one of the ends of the body of the ROCKET.

Step 3: Making the Launcher.

1.Close the PVC pipe from one end using tape or cardboard.

2. Make a hole about three inches above the closed end.

This has got to be the most unsafe thing I've seen. Your going to get sued

[MrE]

Oh and you never showed how to build the launcher or what it is made of. All that you said was a piece of PVC. What size? How long? What type. Should it be non bubble core? Because bubble core can explode. You need to add a safety warning also. Don't publish unfinished instructable's. Remember you are her to show people HOW to build things not to show off or just win contests.

[MrE]

Ok first off, you don't explain what type of deodorant you are using. Secondly you don't have listed what type of spark generator you are using. Nor do you show where it goes or how to add it to your launcher. Thirdly you don't explain how to use the propellant or how much. Fourthly you never give a full parts list. You need to redo this and EXPLAIN things. People cannot vote for an incomplete instructable.
