Homemade Aerial Video Surveillance Satellite

Make a rocket from a 2 liter soda pop bottle and launch it 500 feet high. This video covers building instructions as well as demonstration including on-board aerial video. Great weekend project. No mentos required.

Build your own suborbital aerial reconnaissance drone.

how do you make the fins?

@JeimuzuShige I just cut out some scrap plastic that I got off some packaging. I cut these with tabs that I folded out on alternate sides, and then just taped those onto the bottle.

PVC pipe is the most useful material in the world. With the rockets and guns you make with it you could start a whole new arms race!

@sweetom888 've got a few more PVC videos coming. Be sure to subscribe. I also have a rare non-PVC video coming next week.

lol! I watched this ten times over and still,I couldnt see the curviture of the Earth.

@thedoorsbiggestfan You have to look really closely. Actually, come to think of it, the curvature is backwards. Maybe that's just the wide angle effect of the camera lens. Oh well.
