How did you do that?

 

Magic.

 

Oh, my god. It went everywhere.

 

Next up, time to join the Q.

 

Q is for quagmire¹.

 

The one disadvantage to working at the bomb range is that when it rains, it becomes a horrendous² place to work. And it rains a lot!

 

Kari’s right. Gas canister rocket was a deluge³ disaster.

 

I thought the dangerous part was going to be the exploding propane tank. 

 

You’re right.

 

Oh, no.

 

Sounds bogus was a seasonal⁴ monsoon⁵.

 

You know when I love the bomb range? I don’t like it so much when it rains. The mud is basically clay. When you walk around, you get stuck. When you drive around, you get stuck. Think we got away with that one? Usually really hard. 

 

No one likes a good bang more than the Mythbusters. But in their explosive encyclopedia⁶, R somewhat surprisingly stands for rockets. 

 

That’s surprising because technically⁷ rockets are not explosive. But this being Mythbusters, things can and do go wrong. 

 

That’s why our rockets turn into explosives sometimes.

 

To be fair, most Mythbusters rockets (Watch out!) h ave flown straight and true. But that’s not always been the case. 

 

First, there was the salami rocket. I’m making a rocket out of meat, which was less meat missile and more baloney bomb. But that’s nothing compared to the most epic⁸ rocket fail. 

 

Time to install the rocket.

 

The jato rocket car revisit. 

 

The goal of the experiment was to get a 67 impala to fly. So Adam and Jamie’s spent up more than 20,000 dollars on this super-sized rocket which should be more than enough to get the job done.
