More info at http://www.rcgrabbag.com. This is Steve Eve's 36ft 1600lb 1/10 scale "miniature" Saturn V rocket launch earlier today, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the first landing on the moon. The rocket was lofted by eight 13,000ns N-Class motors and a 77,000ns P-Class motor generating around 8000lbs of thrust! The launch was a huge success and put it in the Guiness Book of World Records as the largest model rocket ever flown! Congrats to Steve and the team!!!

  • How was that launch allowed with those people so close.

    That had to be against Tripoil and AMA Regulations.

  • Not sure what the regs are since I was just a spectator, but regular folks like me were kept 1/4 mile away. Maybe the others you see were from the media and allowed to be closer?

  • @devoid24  So you're an authority on how he should send the money he earned? If you want to feed the children you're free to use your own money.

  • THAT IS SOOOO FREAKIN COOL!!!!.

    I wish i had the time and money to do fun stuff like that because its fun and AWESOME!!!.

  • well yee haw mate. job well done , git r done. rednecks rule, granny porn is excellent.

  • I like how you spoke to people afterward.

  • @devoid24 That's kinda my feeling too. It's probably a highley interesting and satisfying hobby, but all you really do is spend money on moving a heap of junk a few hundred meters up to a couple of thousand meters into the air, and then watch it come back down again... There's not really a purpose to it...

  • I think it is really amazing, but I have to ask, "why spend what must have been a LOT of money, doing this"?

    Someone said they it was $13,000 just for fuel.

    the real rocket made it into space, why build a scale model that doesnt go into space and doesnt serve a purpose other than entertainment?

    dont get me wrong, I LOVE rockets, but I just dont know why you would go to great expense to do this.

    $13,000 could feed a lot of kids for a long time, kids go hungry every day in the United States.

  • Camera guy was like FUUUUCK! haha

  • What was the intended altitude? I know it went about 4500feet, but was it intended for higher?

  • I really wanna ride it now.

  • HD version is at: watch?v=z-X4z_cRLOY

    Thanks for these.
