[Space] Interested Rocket Man

[James Mulroy]

hybrids are cool.  I tend to pursue things that are actually usable in the
real world.  Fortunately for the astronauts NASA doesn't use giant PVC
rocket motors. Alternatives though, require one extra step.  You can turn
various plastics/rubbers on a lathe and bore out the center, and that's your
propellant for the oxidizer.

Not to discourage you from pvc, but if you want to make one, then, alright,
let's do it!  :)
