Will it be sold as gunpowder or are they using the plant to expand their rocket fuel manufacturing?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are those the model rocket people, Estes? I was curious about that as well so I looked into it. Estes Energetics is the company buying GOEX They are a spin off of the Estes model rocket company and "bridges the gap between the hobby and rocket industry and large aerospace companies" |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's awesome. I just got a grant approved (again) to buy Estes Alpha rockets and motors for all of my students. Cool to think this educational endeavor is also supporting the 2A even if it's in a roundabout way. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I was curious about that as well so I looked into it.

Excellent news!
I had worried that commercial production of black powder was going to disappear into the past - at least for a few years if not decades. I'm glad to have been wrong. |

We'll do some lessons on the Laws of Motion, aerodynamics, the stages of a rocket's flight, calculate height of apogee, develop a set of launch / safety procedures, and do a little bit about the history of the Space Race if we have time. Best part is we get to spend a good portion of a warm spring day outside shooting rockets. |

Back in the mid 80's our 5th grade class all built model rockets and launched them at the school football field. I didn't think such a thing would happen today. |

My sister homeschools her kids (all 6, soon to be 7 of them) and they just did model rockets. Unfortunately, snowbanks make recovering said rocket rather difficult.  Dont know why they didnt wait till spring |

It depends. In my previous school district they became so risk-averse they tried to limit me to water rockets made from 2-liter soda bottles so I just quit doing it (it's an after-school program I run because I enjoy it). I changed districts a few years ago, to a more rural district, and now I'm back to doing it right. |

When I was in high school in the 70s, a kid dropped a big chunk of sodium into a bucket of water outside the science room window. The ensuing explosion got us all evacuated out of the school!

Still no BP to be had up here. I found two cans of Goex FFFg at a gun show this weekend and paid dearly for them @ $55 a pound!
But after talking about my 1862 Richmond, the gentleman also Produced a can of musket caps which weren’t on the table. I have not seen them anywhere around here also. |
