Steve Eves 1/10th Scale Saturn V all the way to Deployment

Steve Eves built a 1700 pound nearly 40ft tall Scale model of a Saturn V rocket. 7700 POUNDS of thrust from 9 massive Rocket Motor's costing $13,000 lofted it into the air. It was a hell of a site to see. This is the view from the camera mounted on my still camera so you can watch it all the way to deployment.

With a little math, physics and meterology, i'm thinking orbital flight. If a balloon with a camera can get to space, why can't you?

@PeanutButterGtr a little math a little physics and a litle meterology and a CRAP TON of money :-) its that last part that shoots you down every time :-)

Afterwards they should have launched an Estes Saturn V kit just for shits and giggles.

@blabblab1212 actually now that you mention it an upgraded estes sat v on say an F would have been a good "test launch" (I think they launched a wac corporal if I remember right)

[nerys71]

@xxkil you have no idea. I would have killed to be able to strap just one little tiny camera to that rocket !!!!

Only thing that would have made it better was staging. Still, what an awesome project!
