   Some times you can almost feel the author hopping up and down with   
   sheer intensity. This is definetely one, but will there be another   
   posting from this alleged organisation?

   And technology is just a tool anyone can pick up to varying   
   degree. Not everything requires megabucks but paying attention   
   is normally a requirement.

   Well, not only will technology be wiped out but it will be   
   environmentally safe. I am getting major readings on my weird-o-meter.

   Actually, H2O2 at high concentration is shock sensitive.

   Sounds simple. Now how come this isn't common rocket propellant   
   then? Common ones like hydrazine is rather nasty.

   Anyone who has either been to university or worked with   
   concentrated H2O2 will realise this is gunk.

   Reading a chemistry book is a splendid idea. Tried it yourself?

   Anyone aiming for the starts on top of these peroxide rockets   
   are booked for an appointment with Darwin.

   More gunk. Anyone believeing scientists have much in the way of   
   power has spent too much time in alternative organic chemistry.

   Hmmm, I make that air pressure to be of the order of a percent   
   of normal atmosphere at sea level, and that is extreme?
