JustGav Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/27/heat_launch/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/27/heat_launch/ Basically the summary is a bunch of danish rocket guys have built a rocket as a joy ride vehicle, in what can only described as a rocket motor with a bloke in the nose with a clear helmet. I just love the mad hatter attitude behind this. Bear in mind they rock up to the launch site in a submarine they built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Rockets taking off from water based platforms, interesting degree of studyness there.. Surely you couldnt go up in it more than a few times or "consequences will never be the same"(meme) due to eyeball and spine problems?
