      Well within my work place I don’t really blow anything up, however I remember at school when a few friends and I did, lets say our own physics experiment. We made our own rocket and blew it up behind the school and it went flying into the air!! I could barely see it but we did get in a lot of trouble when teachers came running outside and realised the mess we made XD But it helped us learn a few things for our chemistry test XD

      Hey Messiah, I like your question! I’ve blown up many things, mostly intentionally. My favourite explosion is probably from earlier this year. It was a controlled test of a fuel-oxidiser blend that has rarely been used but it had a little more energy than we expected.. so it also blew up our prototype injection chamber! I had built a silly looking blast box a couple months prior and came in handy that day! Along with our face shields and ear plugs..

      I haven’t really blown anything up. The only thing I did do once is put a packet of mentos into a coke bottle – if you haven’t tried it, give it a go and see what happens haha
