keep a sponge inside the match box and make three holes at one corner on match box and place wooden skewer which was cut into half or a needle which u used to made rocket previously and set your own launching angle using three holes
Fire the Rockets
after making rockets and launcher go to a safe place and fire rockets load the rocket over the wooden skewer or needle and adjust the launching angle and using lighter or a candle fire at top portion of rocket where match head is located and now the match head burns inside and fuels produced had no place to escape they will escape out throug downwards by pushing the skewer and it flies
