hey what type of engines do you use to launch such a big rocket and where do u buy them and how do you get the launch stand, and do you need permission by the government to launch these, and did you launch this in the desert or somehin, yeah i know i got a lot of question but that is a really awesome rocket. I thought u shot a nuke at first. AWESOME!!!
@jakedude493 If you listen in the video, he says 8 N motors and one central P motor. All made by Loki Research. To buy the N motors you must be level 3 certified by either NAR or Tripoli Rocketry Association. The tower it was launched from was also built by Steve Eves. Of course you have to have government permission. You must have a waiver from the FAA to fly anything high power. As for the "shot a nuke" aspect, please take that kind of talk away from this hobby. For more info, educate yourself

Thanks Steve! I grew up thinking I could do cool things like this, but gave up for obvious reasons.
@kfunkenstein I agree! You have any idea how much red tape it takes to launch something like that!?
Well, that's not too bad.
NOW TRY LAUNCHING SOMETHING INTO ORBIT! There's so much red tape there it doesn't matter if some genius could get a home-built rocket to do it, they'd never pass all the paper work.
I agree about the Wright flight. WAAAAY to many regulations and such for a pioneering technology like that to happen today...
Awesome! I don't know if it's already been stated (don't feel like reading all the comments) but this rocket is now on display beneath the real Saturn V in Huntsville, Al at the Davidson Center at the US Space and Rocket Center. Truly impressive!
That's amazing! You don't realize how big it is when it's flying. The parachutes sizes are for people but you would hardly think so by watching it come down. Absolutely amazing! Well done.
Amazing! So if this really is tenth scale (and it appears that it is) that means this thing was about 35 ft tall. The Redstone that was used to put Alan Shepard into space was only 83 ft tall. In other words, this model is really only half the size of a real rocket that could carry a real payload, in size.
I don't understand why such a huge rocket was so under-propelled. Clearly, enormous effort went into this launch and it's a very impressive (at least size wise) craft. Why not go for a much higher launch?
i dont kno if u understand but the FAA has regulations on how high it can go and how much solid is needed to launch this. FAA has steped up on regulations of almost every thing because of the 9/11 incident. this rocket wasnt in and event so he had to go under regulations of FAA. if this were in an event and he could of loaded this rocket to were it can reach space almost. but understand that this was built in a garage lol . he is a good guy
You know. like the real mini-jet replicas that fly, might it be possible to build a working 'real' replica of Apollo-Saturn with the intent of getting something actually on the moon? Mini F1 engines, real staging, modern computers for proper sequencing of events. Wouldn't have to bother with the lunar rendezvous stuff, just get something that looks like a LEM onto the moon's surface. All 1/10th scale. The ultimate achievement in backyard rocketry, and a few other amateur
I think you're thinking of the Apollo 1 disaster. 1) The rocket in that case was a Saturn 1; 2) the rocket itself didn't explode. What killed the crew was a fire in the command module during a dry-run rehearsal/training exercise. I believe the rocket they were scheduled to use did eventually fly.
Years ago, here in Florida (Zephyrhills), someone built a rocket (all black if I recall)similar in size (23ft ?). Well, the liftoff was very impressive, like this one, but the 'chute didn't deploy on the top half and it came down like a SCUD missle on the far side of the pasture and just disintegrated into pieces. I felt sorry for the folks who built it.
This fella here did a great job with this rocket.
Wow, congrats on a safe launch and recovery. Do you guys have to notify the FAA for a launch? I'd hate to be flying over the launch area in a small plane... :)
That was a superb effort and I am very impressed with the parachute deployment- it was flawless (incredibly difficult to always achieve).
Perhaps your next program use rocket booster to attain hypersonic flow for ramjet intake?
This is what we are working on now- the solid fuel combustion cavity become combustion chamber ramjet. Now we can make the rocket- no problem- but fine attitude control and the stable control system is very difficult to engineer.
Here in Australia, I know nothing of Australian Rocketry.
That said, I would be damn sure that Rocketry is alive and well here, though, on a lesser scale, but I have faith, and believe that what is achieved in the USA is, by scale, may done here. We do our best, whatever the discipline.
Then, Steve Eves does this.
You, Sir, re-define excellence, you have raised the bar.
Mars, though far, is not impossible, because of...'you'.

1:10 size and 1:10 speed? If it made it 1/10th the distance to outer space instead of just 1,000 feet...maybe I'd be impressed. As it was, this is just a grown up rich kid with nothing better to do than play with toys.
Wow, no sense of humor. I was relating to the nutjobs who think that the moon landing was fake. It is called sarcasm. But you probably don't know what that means...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Instead of being a little shit, you could of said, "I was not talking about the video, because i am a dumbfuck and i think it is a forum! I like to talk about things unrelated to the video!!"
Also, not as impressive as strapping a CAR onto a space-shuttle replica and actually getting it to several thousand feet (lets not think about the cost...)
You should be proud that was perfect. What a great scale model, the shoots come out right at the apogee and a fantastic landing. At the max. altitude in slow-mo you can see you even had a little visitor fly past too.
You know, Cirris, if it wasn't for "nerds" otherwise known as "smart people" and "scientists" and "engineers", you wouldn't have a computer, an Internet to use with that computer, an international data infrastructure that the internet needs.
Nor would you have television, radio, telephones, antibiotics, and everything else that makes life easier.
Oh, and Cirris, in 1776, the average lifespan was slightly more than 30 years. If you're older than that, you have a whole lot of nerds to thank!
While I agree with everything else in your post, I feel obligated to point out that the average lifespan increase is primarily due to a decrease in infant mortality, rather than an increase in life expectancy for someone who has already reached adulthood.
WOW ! What a flight! What a landing! Here I go into the garage. Do you need some kind of special dispensation from the local govt to do such a launch?
This is awesome! As a person that grew up a fan of the Space Program, and in awe of The Apollo Program, this is soo awesome!!!! The launch looked just like all the videos I've seen of real Saturn V launches. I wish I had know about this launch, and could have traveled to see it in person. Thank God for someone posting it here on You Tube!!
I had to come back for a fifth time and watch this. I am favoriting it this time. Just very regal and powerful, almost a nostalgic wind from another age. And a door cracked open to the next great era of exploration. Reminds of Star Trek: First Contact in a way.
Very cool, but all of this for only 1,000 feet? I'm not knocking the dude, because he's got the time, dedication and money to do this. He can do what he wishes. But...I am a spaceflight fan. Saturn V went a lot farther than that, and it should at least make it to 10 to 15 thousand feet if it's that freaking big. Good launch, but there are people on youtube with much smaller rockets that made it upwards to 40,000 feet (If I remember correctly, it was called the BALLS rocket launch).
Yeah, I think I must have heard the guy giving the altitude on the way down with the chutes and thought he was giving the total altitude or something. At a lot of model rocket launches, they have an altimeter on it and say the max height achieved soon after the parachutes open. Others wait until it gets back and have to download the data from a chip to a computer. But even at 4,000...that's still kinda low for something that tall and size in diameter.
And 4,400 feet actually exceeded the altitude they thought it would go. There is 5,280 feet in a mile, to put it into perspective. I think because the rocket was so big, it didn't look like it went up that high in some of the videos because of the zoom or angle they were filmed at.

Incredible waste of money and time, IMO, but spectacular, including the sounds. For the cost, one could fly bazillions of smaller hobby rockets. Just sayin',
I have been looking for a very long time for a model rocket launch like this....FINALLLY I found one...in my favs 5 stars...Im actually working on one right now its a 1/2 scale AMRAAM rocket used on jets...its only 6 feet tall 3 inches wide though...nothing in comparison

I had to come back for a fifth time and watch this. I am favoriting it this time. Just very regal and powerful, almost a nostalgic wind from another age. And a door cracked open to the next great era of exploration. Reminds of Star Trek: First Contact in a way.

Very cool, but all of this for only 1,000 feet? I'm not knocking the dude, because he's got the time, dedication and money to do this. He can do what he wishes. But...I am a spaceflight fan. Saturn V went a lot farther than that, and it should at least make it to 10 to 15 thousand feet if it's that freaking big. Good launch, but there are people on youtube with much smaller rockets that made it upwards to 40,000 feet (If I remember correctly, it was called the BALLS rocket launch).

dont know where u got 1,000ft, i believe it was 4,400.

Yeah, I think I must have heard the guy giving the altitude on the way down with the chutes and thought he was giving the total altitude or something. At a lot of model rocket launches, they have an altimeter on it and say the max height achieved soon after the parachutes open. Others wait until it gets back and have to download the data from a chip to a computer. But even at 4,000...that's still kinda low for something that tall and size in diameter.

It weighed over 1,600lbs, That's like launching a Yugo 3/4 of a mile up. Not to bad really.

And 4,400 feet actually exceeded the altitude they thought it would go. There is 5,280 feet in a mile, to put it into perspective. I think because the rocket was so big, it didn't look like it went up that high in some of the videos because of the zoom or angle they were filmed at.

Incredible waste of money and time, IMO, but spectacular, including the sounds. For the cost, one could fly bazillions of smaller hobby rockets. Just sayin',
