Danish amateurs launch home made rocket

Here are some videos of the launch: Source: Copenhagen Suborbitals

This reminded me of the Star Trek NG episode where them put the Klingon Currier in the torpedo with life support for fast travel. There is no way I would consider this no mater how low the cost.

Finally, after the first attempt failed Now in about 10 years time, we hopefully will see more Danes (vikings style ) in space.

Well, gotta start somewhere.......you go dudes!!!! An outside camera filming the rocket going up would have been nice.

I love their ingenuity, and I wish them well. Incorporating a hair dryer into the design may be a mistake, though, I have never had a reliable one in my life. LOL

That ship is made by amateurs? Wow. My amateur ship was always made with a washing machine box and a roll of aluminum foil...

I'm looking at it's model rocket like accel. It appears that the 6-8 g immediate acceleration might be a little much for someone to tolerate. G suit of not. And pressurized oxygen? An escape route in case things go haywire (a hatch and a parachute)? What about the heat. A sub orbital vehicle is going to be traveling fast enough to produce heat....and this thing is going to re-enter dense atmosphere, eh... [More]
