-title: The Picture Window Near Miss
----
-
-Let\'s skip forward a few years. You would think by now I would have
-gained a little experience and wisdom in the pyrotechnic arts. At this
-point I was perhaps a little over-confident that the days of my mishaps
-were long gone. This turned out to be true in this instance only because
-of blind luck or divine intervention, I\'m not sure which.\
-\
-After hearing of my love for the field of \"energetic chemistry\",
-Emily\'s sister-in-law, Val, invited me to conduct a workshop at her
-home in Eagle, Idaho for her son, who shared my interest in science and
-rockets. I was eager to convert a young and impressionable mind to the
-field and, of course, I couldn\'t turn down an opportunity to play with
-explosives and such. Accordingly, I prepared for a few weeks prior to
-our next visit to Idaho and brought a large box of chemicals and
-supplies for the workshop.\
-\
-Val and her husband Brian lived in a very upscale, multi-million-dollar
-home on a large lot at the outskirts of Eagle. I remember being quite
-impressed with the expansive shop where we started building a few
-fireworks items. We made a few simple things like fountains and roman
-candles and then went outside on the lawn to light them off. The event
-was slated to conclude with a static test of a small rocket motor. This
-was a motor that used the same kind of solid rocket motor fuel as the
-space shuttle booster engines. It was about 12 inches long and used a
-custom machined solid graphite rocket nozzle. I was quite proud of the
-accomplishment of designing and building this motor, which I has
-successfully test fired on several previous occasions. This time,
-however, I planned to use a new static test stand that had never been
-used before.\
-\
-We set up the rocket motor in the test stand and inserted the
-electrically controlled engine ignitor. Brian and Val\'s young son would
-be given the privilege of doing the count-down and pushing the ignition
-button. A successful test-firing would have resulted in a loud roaring
-noise and a lot of fire and smoke coming from the nozzle of the motor.
-All this was supposed to happen while the motor was safely contained in
-the test stand. Well, my young protégé eagerly did his job and pushed
-the button after counting down from five. The rocket motor roared to
-life, just as expected. Then it somehow managed to break loose from the
-test stand and began to fly uncontrollably in the air. My heart sank as
-the motor headed right towards the largest picture window of the house
-at about 100 miles an hour. I was all but certain that I was going to be
-responsible for thousands of dollars' worth of damage to Val\'s
-beautiful home. This is when the miracle happened.\
-\
-It appeared as if the motor hit an invisible force field, just like the
-ones that protect the spaceships in the Star Wars movies. The motor
-abruptly flipped around, right in mid-air and started heading out toward
-the field beyond the lawn. I heaved a huge sigh of relief when the motor
-finally ran out of fuel and landed safely in the field about 40 yards
-away from the house. Once again, I was incredibly lucky that no one was
-hurt and that no damage was done. However, the near miss did some
-serious damage to my reputation as a rocket scientist. I seriously
-considered whether I should retire from this hazardous hobby, but only
-for about 2 seconds.
