(...) My 2 cents I went and looked at the site when it came out. It didn't look like something I'd want to do myself, but I didn't see it as totally unsafe or anything. On the other hand I think I understand the model rocketry guys sensitivity to (...) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Certainly it's for 9 year olds; why shouldn't they be included? Dave! (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

The subject line is a quote from a thread in rec.models.rockets dated August 28. I realize that most of you don't care, but I thought you might be interested in at least looking at this thread on rec.models.rockets It's getting out of control and (...)

(...) I do not think your morons, however I would strongly suggest that you start using wire guides from now on. Make a spool and capstan assembley with good quality multi-strand cable. Parts may still fly off but will help keep the majority of the (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Thanks! No, no one was hurt (we've done about 15 LEGO-related rocket experiments so far). I've experienced enough burns and projectiles hits in other ways to know what it feels like. And, BTW, I DO manage to do some moronic things come to think of (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Why might you be morons? Simply because you used Lego and rocket engines to do something else? Or because of some kind of danger involved? If they are accusing you of being possible morons because of a danger factor, ask yourself this: Was (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

This post concerns those people who've seen our rocket cars/plane(s). After reading a thread in rec.models.rockets I am (that is, the lot of us in Victoria) faced with the fact that we might be 'morons' (we didn't start or recommend the thread). (...)

(...) I find that very unlikely. I don't see much anywhere near as much MB on the shelves as real LEGO around here. Stores such as TRU and WalMart tend to stock a few of the bulk tubs of bricks, and KB tends to have a few of the tiny sets, but they (...)

(...) I will second Dave! on this one. MB minis do kinda suck, but then it also depends on which ones we are discussing -- I happen to really like the king figure in the Lion's Kingdom set, as well as the Eve White/Eve Black Queen/Witch figures, and (...)
