  • David Bowie - Space Oddity would have been perfect soundtrack music for that launch. I wonder if you used multiple stages with N-class rockets if you could reach low earth orbit.

  • @drewnwalker There would be a very small chance. Rocketmavericks dot c o m is where the guys who push the limits of this size rockets can be found. After looking around I think you'll see hitting space at 62.5 miles is not quite so simple, but the hobby is fun and one can work to make space possible on the smallest possible motor

  • FAIL...not @ all...that was BEAUTIFUL...thx for the comment, Hey 1 question? @ 47 seconds into the launch...is that when the motor stop thrusting...because it looked to me...it was still accelerating after that???

  • You're correct that flight was not a fail, it was perfect. The thrust stopped in the area of 47 and it coasted another mile or so.

  • Is that a one shot deal??? Or...did u get it back? WOW!!!!

  • Rocketry is instant pass/fail, if you do 1,000 things right you get it back, if you do one thing wrong you FAIL and end up with a post hole full of parts. I only showed the boost and not the recovery as that's the boring part......unless it's coming at you on a FAIL

see all

  • BEAUTIFUL!! the slo-mo was very nice, the person taking the video held the camera steady, made it a pleasure to watch! So much better than most!

    

  • Was flying in some jet stream or something.

  • MEANWHILE IN CHINA

    "INCOMING "

  • Looked like it went a ways downrange.

  • What's the best motor to use if you want to pass 30,000 ft straight up?

  • No worries! You'll be just fine!

  • @drewnwalker elton john rocket man

  • @VooDooRocketry It's all a matter of guidance and speed...and...*ahem*...customi­zation.
