I am talking about silver nitrate, not potassium nitrate.

I don't so that's pretty dangerous. I do know that when you mix it with other stuff, it make boom!

Well you do know what it is. It's potassium nitrate.

Doesn't he mean silver nitrate?

one word: WAT

.......that may look cool....but...think bout how much that could cost.....1 reg chem set is bout 100-200 US Dollars....and i mean a good quality one not those cheap platics thingies wherre you buy at walmart or somethin lolz....

Also when you start you use the set can you record yourself? Lol if you made a mistake and made an explosion and it cuaght on tape then you can upload it on youtube and maybe become famous...lolz just a suggestion..

I don't really care that much about explosions... but I love rocket science. I don't like destruction, I like creation... I want to make a methanol-oxygen fuel cell or something. Or an electromagnetic payload propulsion system.

here is an idea for a 'greener' space system:

use a gigantic electromagnetic gun (with a smaller, but still existant chemical booster) for the payload equipment that is allowed to go through G-Forces that would be lethally high for humans. It would shoot out extremely fast and then be maneuvered into LEO. Then, it would be set up and have a status report, and when it is good, another rocket would go out, also propelled at first by the electromagnetic gun, but at lower velocities to limit G-Forces. Or it could take off like an airplane at first, then refuel from a balloon high up and lift into orbit. Either way, it would take a lot less fuel since the craft would only be carrying an astronaut payload, with some life support and fuel tanks, but for the balloon thing, less fuel because of the refueling in the air. Then, while in orbit, the two craft would perform a rondezvous and the crew would go into the larger space payload transfer "bullet", which could be transformed into a livable structure, perhaps even a spaceship. Then, the crew ship (more plane-shaped) would be flown back down to earth, maybe by autopilot, maybe by a pilot. This is just an idea to add to the bank of innovation...
