Awesome and a shame it didn't have a rocket cam. Best rocket cam video for a private rocket is the sledgehammer vid. Does anybody know good sodium perchlorate as a propellant. Why sodium? Because this you can make from normal salt. Cheers

Yea I would think it would at least match spaceship one with over 10,000lb of thrust on a 560lb rocket

It should hit space if designed with good mass fractions. Or at least 200,000 feet.
