Check this video out its mental 4,000lbs of thrust for 8 sec!! Turn your speakers up for the launch!

Now that was impressive!

[debrooker]

have you read the blog, interesting stuff. Also the gopro they were using came down somewhat melted :)

[pchristy]

That's not bad at all! Just shy of 25 miles up! I believe space starts officially at 50 miles, so they are half-way there!

Wonder who will be the first amateur to achieve orbit.......?

[CageyH]

I have always wondered how you get the equipment back.
25 miles up, and dropping down, it could go 100's of miles away.

Wow, that is wonderful. Love it! I want one..Nice find!
Is it actually legal to have this much fun with your clothes on?
I would imagine the thought-police would flex their knees at this sort of thing, and say "ello ello ello, what's goin' on 'ere then"...
