  • So... The idea of an Ion gun is to fire a high-speed stream of particles. Ever wonder how effective rockets would be as weapons? I mean, what would happen to a tank 1500 yards away, in the exhaust stream? Or better yet, a car?

  • Them are some good bolts...lol

  • @RoidinRichie I live in central McGregor. It's awesome. I'm currently a student in our high school's rocket class. Those engines roaring are awesome. Loud, yes, but awesome nonetheless.

  • Very nice. You seem to have inside dibs from SpaceX to get a HD version, I was wondering why this version was cut at the end to remove an extra few seconds of chatter I've seen initially posted on KWTX website (now also replaced the test video with this one)?

  • I heard this 15 miles away and it rattled my windows! I could see the light too. I feel sorry for the people in McGregor.
