      I’ve never made any explosives on purpose, and (to my knowledge) never made any accidentally either. I have had one or two very minor ‘explosions’ in the lab, but these have been due to a build up of pressure in glassware that has a fault in it, so when the pressure got too much, the glassware shattered with a very loud bang, but thankfully that was the extent of the damage and no one was hurt or anything! 🙂

      I haven’t either.

      But I do observe explosions that happen billions of kilometres away from us in space 😛
