AND THE GOVERNMENT **WON'T LET YOU REACH IT**
Saw on /r/space that since he's using steam to power his "rocket" he won't actually get very high(A ceiling of 2 miles, generously considered), so he's probably just going to confirm his own bias if he even gets off the ground
It's more likely it leaks into the cockpit and it turns into a very, very hot sauna.
Reminded me of the stories of me163 test pilots being dissolved by t-stoff propellant leaking into the flight cabin
Scenes of jubilation in Salisbury, the capital of Zimbabwe.
Ok, so he apparently already flew one of his rockets once.
Look at all those holes in the parachute.
wot a mad lad
r/madlads
The article mentions that; but it also says he collapsed after landing and took three days to recover
speedholes bruh
don't believe in science
*Watches video*
Gravity is just a theory, after all.
I didn't think GoPros had a '10fps' setting
Yeah, it's fishy that he doesn't have footage from the outside. Could just have been a model rocket or something.
What's all the white shit flaking off of it?
propellant?
dandrumpf of course
yeah, first thing I thought was how it looked like that
that or paint chips
but I thought he would've eaten all of them
holy fucking shit
did he purchase that parachute second-hand?
There's a lot of material flying off the thing indeed.
More like he went dumpster diving for the parachute.
"His future plans include an excursion into space. He and Stakes have already brainstormed on a “Rockoon,” which is a rocket that, rather than being immediately ignited while on the ground, is carried into the atmosphere by a gas-filled balloon, then separated from the balloon and lit. This rocket will take Hughes about 68 miles up."
TWO-STAGE SPACE ROCKET PROGRAM, BAYBEYY
I've seen better KSP rockets
also
is that s single tether?
"well, if it works for the space shuttle.."
I'm curious about what the flappy thing on the top left is.
But yeah, video looks like filmed from a model rocket, then slowed down to this ridiculous frame rate.
