So if someone is an agent but I don't see Revelation of the Method somewhere I'm not happy. What do you think of this? In Kary's talk on his teenage rocket-making days he says that he put little piles of mixtures with different ratios of potassium nitrate and sugar and bingo! he found 50/50 KNO3/sugar worked best. He then clarified that that was by volume although by weight it was 60/40 - he didn't say which way, however, I looked up "sugar rocket fuel" and it says 60 KNO3 / 40 sugar. I looked up the densities of KNO3 and sugar and KNO3 is actually denser which - according to my reckoning - means that if you were going by volume 50/50 wouldn't be correct. Also, he says the father of a friend named Buzz was a pilot and flew at 2 miles above the sand pit a cop had directed the boys to experiment with their rockets at but in fact their rockets exceeded that height which strikes me as implausible ... as does a friend's father flying his plane above the sand pit as a means of testing how high the rocket went.
I do like the friend called Buzz ... oh and guess what? Buzz Aldrin's father was an aviator and assistant commandant of the Army's first test pilot school at McCook Field, Ohio, from 1919 to 1922.
Love your creative angle, PM.
