The fidget spinner craze continues well into its second month, which means now is the time for YouTube celebrities to take things to the next level.

Right on schedule is the Backyard Scientist, who strapped rocket engines to a giant fidget spinner he created out of aluminum. In his first trial, the fidget spinner ends up shooting one rocket at the YouTuber’s friend, and another at his car.
