Seen plenty enough lab experiments where they heat glass directly (one where they vaporized diamonds in a glass tube was cool) to know it's possible, with the right type of glass. Borosilicate glass has a veeery low thermal expansion factor, and can take a very high heat load without breaking. Pyrex home dishes used to be made of that, but unfortunately they've since switched to tempered glass, which isn't nearly as tough against heat. =(
Mythbusters is all about learning... even in simple ways. I watch Adam through MB until Tested, and when I see him put Glass + Sugar DIRECTLY on fire I realize that anyone can't know everything at the same time.
It's not impossible for good quality borosilicate glass to handle that just fine, lab beakers from Pyrex often handle WAY worse situations. Unfortunately Pyrex cookware in the US used to be made of pretty much the same stuff, but these days is "just" tempered soda lime glass, which is prone to exactly this happening. You can still get proper borosilicate glass cookware from Pyrex in Europe though, and for those I wouldn't really expect to have any problems.
that sign on freezer "THIS IS NOT A SHELF" ... i know exactly how Jamie is feeling, he's like "ughhh .... it's so frustrating dealing with dummies who would use freezer as shelf"
if you are doing a sugar rocket "properly" that is where you start (though they tend to be smaller rockets) but rocket hobbyists are slightly insane and try to make them out of everything with a high enough sugar content
Poop ain't as useless anymore. My Cousins Master Degree was turn it into a Bio Polymer that could be used in place of traditional Plastic. And it works. You can make Containers out of it to protect things, make them rugged, even use in place of a lot of packing material.

Try sugar free gummy bears. Just eat the whole bag and you will have a rocket liftoff in the toilet.
Ye olde Buttsplosion 😅
the Atomic Flush!!!
Must admit, season 10 is better than I expected.
Right?
8:05 I'm sitting here thinking "I would have thought that directly heating a glass dish would've explo-....there it goes!"
THAT MADE ME JUMPED AS WELL HOLY GUMMIES

44:45 "Rocketry is something that we DO DO" 🤣
Remember, if anyone ever tells you that "you're full of sh-t", just think "rocket fuel!".
poop rocket must have one hell of a smell when burned though. sounds like a crappy idea

As hes taking his shit off of it lol
So in a nutshell you can make a low explosive out of just about anything combustible if it is refined enough and mixed with an oxidizer.
LOx is 'explosively compatible' with literally any hydrocarbon.
That's what makes it so dangerous.
I literally JUST finished eating dinner (chili dogs no less) about 5 minutes before the poop segment ...
try adding a little sodium or potassium perchlorate to the gummy bears. I think you will find it gets far more exiting.
19:27 there's just some guy behind a crate like 10ft from the rocket lol
I wonder how many calories per km / hour it takes
It begs the question why not use standard white granular sugar, surely not having to boil off water to start with will improve the prospects...? 😊❤ A

White sugar is not really candy.
The poop is interesting except you’d need all the equipment up in space with you to turn it into rocket fuel. You’d also need a lot of it.
Simple, take a couple of flat-earthers with you, they're full of shit 😁

I remember 8 year old me asking my mom to record Bingo on TV and using these exact gummy bears to see if I could win at Bingo!
I have become diabetic simply by watching this episode
Thanks, now i dont want to eat my chocolate anymore
20000 feet? what was mount everest height in feet?
Poop rockets for Mars😂😂😂
When sh*t goes upwards, the journey begins.
44:46 heh... doodoo
44.47 dodo, lol
44.54 number 2, lol
There is a expression in finnish when someone describes speaking, "jauhaa paskaa" which means "to grind shit".
Just saying...
Let's make shitty rockets.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⚡🚀🥃
Hahahhahahaa
