Pretty sure my neighbors (and the local fire department, of course) are just itching for me to build something like that.

The fact that the parachute didn't tangle was petty cool too.

That burned for far longer and got a lot more altitude than I figured it would. Nice job!

That's a big well done! The chugging sound was brilliant.

I'm guessing this was done in Thailand.

Sweet... wonder how hard it is to rescue the giant wheel once it comes down. It seems like there are a lot of trees for it to get tangled up in.

The timing and trimming was most impressive on the rockets .
Just a second off, and or a couple deg. out it would be doing high quality somersaults !

Now that was a hoot! Thanks for sharing-

(Nothing on the same level but sort of reminds me of the teenage days and doing goofy things. Homemade canon's with concrete filled beer can projectiles, oxy-acety filled large garbage bags - BIG BOOM BOOM. But the most foolish was buying weather balloons out of Edmunds Scientific catalog. Filled them helium and launched at night. So we could have a visual, had used tied together Sterno's and hanged below. It didn't even cross our minds of potential hazards. )

Judging by the video, the quality of fire works coming out of East Asia will be excellent this year. LOL

For a few seconds, I thought NASA was in trouble.
