Rocket “maverick,” Steve Jurvetson. got this pine box and an electric screwdriver to open it for Christmas. “Gee, honey, I can’t imagine what you got me!” I like the bow on the lid. It’s a Q-size Loki motor (ah… or “engine,” if you prefer). To give you an idea of size, that’s an Atlas ICBM upper stage vernier motor on the right!
Here’s Steve giving a wonderful, though breakneck-speed, intro to hobby rocketry, at TED.
