It amazes me that early rocket scientists, Goddard, von Braun, et al., didn't blow themselves up. Certainly they had plenty of opportunities to do so, and did not have today's hindsight of all the ways that could go wrong of combining fuel and oxidizer in the right proportions to produce a violently explosive mix, and then trying to control that explosion. Perhaps they got famous only because they didn't die.
