These Are The Coolest Amateur Rockets I’ve Ever Seen

Bamboo rockets are really cool. They are wheels with a central rod full of solid fuel and nozzles that spin into the sky until they stop and fall back to Earth on a parachute. Or explode. It’s a big thing in Thailand — so big that they celebrate festivals to watch them fly and broadcast them on TV.
