Rocketry is a very EXACT science. The forces involved in a rocket engine are so violent, and at the same time so carefully balanced that the slightest of errors could lead to the failure and or explosion of a rocket.
Making a rocket engine is a very tedious and dangerous process. Especially when made by hand. Everything on this website will be made by hand including all of the tools used to make the rocket engines. If you do decide to make a rocket. Make sure that every precaution is taken. Most of all use common sense. If you feel something is unsafe, IT IS UNSAFE!
It is very important to be consistent when making a rocket. You must establish set routines when building rockets. At first things will be a bit messy, but it is very important that you establish a routine as quickly as possible. If you do this you will dramatically increase the success rate of the rockets you make. You are also less likely to get INJURED!
