  • JPL = Jack Parsons Lab

  • everyone knows black magick rituals, ripped space fabric, and demonic entities are the origins of JPL!

  • I am a pyrotechnitian who has manufactured rockets using Ammonium perchlorate. Most of the Ammonium perchlorate I have used was in the manufacture of stars. NH3ClO4 based stars are better because they stay in the air longer and don't weigh that much when they burn after an air burst. This is because fire is gas and heat travels up. Solid state fuel rockets can also be made out of zinc metal dust and sulfur which can be ignited with Magnesium. It takes 2 molecules for a spontaneous combustion.
