@jimabbey1964 Sigh.. people like you are the source of my misanthropy. And how did I neglect to show evidence? I wasn't the one to film it now was I? How about you go to google and type in CSXT "Rocket Launch" you will find plenty of articles on the event. Unless of course you are too lazy and ignorant to do so.

excuse me but, is such kind of acceleration even possible? Thats the fastest one I've ever seen. Wouldn't that like constantly break the sonic speed. It seems like pushing the gravitional limit of acceleration, it just seems impossible fast. Don't know where that comes from
@BuddhaMaster84 I suggest you go to school and try to learn these things. Your question shows a massive lack of understanding. It is good you are inquisitive though
Fantastic!!!!! I've simplified getting to orbit. To get to orbit, you do about this same thing, turn left or East, depending on your point of view, and step on the gas real hard and hold it there til you reach about 8km/sec and hope you don't hit space junk.
Did these people lauching the rocket need special permission or a license of some sort. Just think about it, in todays world considering how defensive the U.S and other countries are about being attacked by missles, terrorist attacks, and paramilitary/ drug cartel wings with and against governments wouldn't the U.S and other countries keep track of anything of that size and that speed launched and traveling through orbit? Couldn't it have set off some red flags?
@looks911 You're obviously a stupid idiot mouthbreather so I'll break it down for you. The only way the rocket wouldn't come back after going to 379.900ft would be if it had enough horizontal speed to go into orbit. Earths gravity pulls objects towards it from all altitudes. The reason astronauts are weightless in space is because they are "falling" around the earth, they are moving so fast horizontally that the ground keeps dropping out from under them due to the curvature of the earth. Get it?
Beautiful - but what would it take to get a satellite into orbit except about 18,000 mph? Would that trick be a legal one? I've had an idea as to what to lift it with, but there's not quite enough space here on th' Toob ov Yu to get the message across, except that it would be a very powerful four-stage rocket to lift a 50 kg garage door opener into orbit. Seriously, I can't think of a better way to blow an extra million pounds sterling.
Two stages are more effective, but are very much complex and expensive. If they sometimes fail with one-staged rockets, think about two-staged rockets.. :)
Ky Michaelson lives a block away from me. I went to his rocket exhibit a few years ago. He has virtually rocket powered evrything, from bikes, jetpacks, and even a rocket powered toilet.
Agree, multi-stage rockets are more complex to build. When shall you ignite second stage?
Just after first stage burnout or a number of seconds later?
Well the solution depend of the following parameters: Burningtime of first stage, burout velocity and burnout altitide of first stage, second stage burningtime and some more parameters.
The solutioncan only be found with computercalculations testing various parameters. At low altitude you have very high air-resistance. more...
no it isnt fake this is actually real. the title is misleading....nobody was launched into space. it was the first non NASA associated flight to space.
@Mysticlambo The first rocket flight into space was probably the fourth German V-2 (A-4) test in 1942. If not that flight, many higher flights were made by captured V-2s in the late 1940s with small rockets mounted on top.
@mojaverockets, Well, if you define space as an altitude of 100 km (62 miles) or more, then the first non-government flight into space was done by the private Spaceship One manned suborbital spacecraft. It passed 100 km altitude three times, reaching 100.124 km on June 21st, 2004, 102.93 km on September 29th, 2004, and 112.014 km on October 4th, 2004. The rocket from this video apparently exceeded that, but I doubt anyone could survive 23 g's!
@1sorryham the Go Fast rocket was launched about a month before Spaceship One. Ky's rocket was the first NON-government/commercial rocket into space, Spaceship One was the first NON-government 'manned' flight into space.
@mojaverockets The VolksRocket was: "The World's First Civilian Manned Rocket!" to go to space. It was launched about a year before both of these, and, actually there have been 2 other pesonal rocketry vehicles that have gone to the "edge of space" sub-orbital. before that. Going sub-orbital is not that hard or that big a deal, the only really hard part is getting the money to build!
@Mysticlambo That's not technically right. The CSXT were the first ameteur company to put a rocket into space, but they weren't the first non-NASA team to do it. That honour goes to the Soviets.
Still a hell of an achievement for 25 guys though. Well done CSXT
Actually it would be even more accurate to say that NASA was neither - The 100-mile limit was broken by the V-2 missiles during WWII and the next ones to go beyond was the Russians, not even NASA..
If you want to be pedantic about things, it was originally,and still is, spelled Sulphur until the americans changed it. I hate arseholes like you. And, yes, arsehole is a word too. The Yankee Doodle Dandies changed it to Asshole.
Wow.... Seriously, what is your issue with Americans? I have no problem whatsoever with the use of the spelling sulphur, or, if we must go there, arsehole, as that is the correct spelling in British English. My problem lies with people too lazy to do the rest of the internet community a favor by using proper spelling and grammar, or those too lazy to take advantage of their education and not rape their language with repeated grammatical and spelling errors.
To the best of my knowledge thre is only one correct English language, and there is a reason its called English, and not American. Because it originated in England, I wont go into detailed entymology, but its English. That means that sulfur is incorrect, as is replacing every s with a z ie fertilizer. ITS WRONG, LEARN HOW TO SPELL. And guess what, I am not even English, so dont even try to play that card.
Languages are fluid and constantly in flux. If you took your "one true real English" to england only 200 years ago, people would have a hard time understanding you, particularly if you tried to spell something. 500 years ago and you wouldn't even be able to speak to the "English" people. Anyone who thinks language is set in stone is probably missing a good perspective on history.
Read a book from the 1700s for example, or Chaucer.
With multiple stages, you can reach space with less total motor impulse, but the project will be a lot more complex, and it will be more likely that something goes wrong, such as a stage failing to ignite.
The CSXT had an two stage space attempt before this one, the upper stage did not ignite. For many, the benefits of two stages outweigh the complexity. Electronics are highly reliable today, staging is pretty simple now. A Q to O rocket could get similar performance to this single S motor. With half of the impulse.
Right... depending on when you hit your max speed, and the mass and diameter of the rocket... space calls for Mach 4 or more. Orbit calls for Mach 25.
Well in the future if your going to put these videos up like that make it clear to the viewers thats alli'm saying.
