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.

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). (...)
