Let's make a flame that burns in outer space! Pasta Hybrid Rocket Engine or space candle
Call it a space candle or a DIY hybrid rocket engine, this is still a really cool science experiment that you totally SHOULD NOT DO at home! Seriously, don't play with fire and don't be the dumb! We are working with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), Exothermic reactions and exploring the catalase in yeast!
