I was going to say that my understanding is that these things contain toxic chemicals, and that messing with them is not a good idea, but I see he covered that.

That’s interesting. I think it is unique to the region that people are salvaging the rocket parts as soon as they hit the Earth. I know they are a one time use, but why doesn’t the military go retrieve the used rockets for recycling?

Sounds interesting. I would like to go hunting for titanium scraps. Not much change to do such here. According to Finnish law you can’t keep anything came from space or anything that was used for sending some other object to space.
