Did we really not have a thread about Copenhagen Suborbitals until now?
Today, they successfully launched their HEAT-1X, the world's largest amateur space rocket, for the first time.
Video here:

I watched the whole thing on livestream, and it was just utterly fantastic. I haven't screamed that loud in real life in a looooong time :) IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES!
This is the same group that successfully built an amateur submarine before they decided to privately launch a man into space some day. I hope they'll succeed!
They're almost completely donation-funded, so if you love stuff like this, consider becoming a proud sponsor like I did (that's where my meager income from the ads on this site went)! _________________ Do you mind? I'm trying to learn about the Okapi. |

I have been following them for a while (for a year at least I think) and was watching live stream at the office. I had to leave before they launched though, so I missed the launch. Watched the recording as soon as I came home though.
It's really cool that they managed to make the launch. I hope we'll see manned launch sometime in the future (maybe when they solve the parachute getting tangled up). _________________ Who keeps the Five Worlds off the maps? Who keeps the lostech under wraps? We do, we do. |
