I give a rat's rump when folks in an egotistical rage make up rules to restrict others for no other reason than they can, or for reasons of superior morality, that frankly does not exist.

That explains most of NFPA-1122, NFPA-1125, NFPA-1127, all written by holier than thou rocket folks. I know. I was in the room a good part of the time.

Ask yourself this of one particular example. If you have made the effort to get 1500g/125g passed through to FAA and now you are writing NFPA codes and NAR safety codes, why in hell would you both allow 125g motors and also restrict same to 160N-s? Just one of many examples in the regs of arbitrary and silly rules.

How about NFPA-1125 that excludes vertical mixers, the ones most rocket companies and folk actually use, from permissibility. Guess who uses shakers? AT. Guess who packs their propellant? Estes. The companies most consistently represented on the NFPA committee "because there isn't room for more commercial reps".

Really? Really.
