You will likely raise a flag somewhere if you publicise what you are doing, but I highly doubt there would be any issues if you're working on this in private as a hobby.
As for chemicals, I can personally vouch that it is a terrible idea to order reagents (or even chemistry equipment) as an individual. I tried to teach myself organic synthesis in the summer before starting my doctoral studies, and ended up with MIB searching my house. Certainly on a list now :(

- 7thpower 2y agoPlease tell me there is a blog post or something documenting this experience. Sounds like a fun read.
- biofox 2y agoAfraid not. I don't have much of an online presence, so didn't think to write anything.
- amarcheschi 2y agothere's always a first time :)
- mavamaarten 2y agoI remember watching a video about a dude who was building a mothership-launched glide drone that could land using camera vision. The idea was something like "the highest egg drop" or something like that. He was speaking with academics about his idea, who quickly told him to stop whatever he was doing because that would effectively be a forbidden military device. Guided artillery, basically. Sadly I don't remember who it was, it was a fun story. I thought it was maybe Mark Rober or Joe Barnard but I really can't find it anymore. Edit: found it! It was launched from a weather balloon, and it was both Mark and Joe. https://youtu.be/BYVZh5kqaFg https://youtu.be/BYVZh5kqaFg
- Rallen89 2y agoHappened to codyslab, videos taken down now (but still on archive.org) of a uranium purification process and possibly nilered,no way to prove it but he had a 'making rocket fuels: part 1' that was never followed p on. Not totally sure though as people like BPS space on yt have some pretty in depth tutorials on solid rocket motors (does explicitly censor how to make the ignition component)
- cyberax 2y agoUhm, there are plenty of videos about making solid rocket fuel. Model rocketry doesn't need any special permits until you get to launching large rockets.
- Rallen89 2y agoI guess once you have the permits it doesnt matter. With the nilered vids, they were more of the more hypergolic variety
- trhway 2y agoThat is probably why Eric Schmidt (ex Google CEO) develops his AI combat drones in Estonia instead of US.
