Nothing bad to say about the science, but the (casual? blasé?) wording of this really bothered me:
> Jungwirth’s colleague Philip Mason was determined to find out what was really going on — despite the hazards. In one run, he removed his face shield to blow out a small fire, only to have a piece of metal go off in his face, scratching his cheek.

- masklinn 12y agoTIWWW often mocks the blasé wording of this kind of reports or articles, the things you really don't want to read are the source texts. I very, very strongly recommend reading Ignition!, it is truly awesome (it's the source for "Sand won't save you this time" and the book would be well worth its weight in rare metals if it were still possible to find the thing in any other form than a PDF)
