        No proper ones, for NASA or ESA or anything like that. I’ve often wondered if I might be able to get a job at a space agency with my research. It’s not clear if rust is a big problem for space probes…

        I did used to play with model rockets when I was younger. They had little chemical rocket engines (like a firework really) which would shoot the rocket up into the sky, and then it would parachute back down to us. It probably went about 100-200 metres high 🙂
