The Russians should launch a Tie-Fighter in response.

Wiki has this to say about the engine used:

In the high powered arena, which began in the mid-80's with the availability of J, K, and L class motors, a number of companies have shared the market. By the early 1990s, Aerotech International, LOC/Precision, and Public Missiles had taken up leadership positions, while a host of engine manufacturers provided ever larger engines, at much higher costs. Companies like Aerotech, Vulcan, and Kosdon were widely popular at launches during this time as high powered rockets routinely broke Mach 1 and reached heights over 10,000 ft.

Engine reliability became a significant issue though, with "CATO"s, or catastrophic failures, occurring relatively frequently (est. 1 in 20) when motors of L class or higher were fired. At costs exceeding $300 per motor, the need to find an alternative was apparent. In the late 1990s, reusable motors (metal sleeves with screwed on end caps and filled with cast propellant slugs) became a popular way to reduce the price of launches and dominate the market today. At this time (2006) single use motors above G class are quite rare, and many are collectibles. Aerotech, Dr. Rocket, Ellis Mountain, and Loki Motorworks provide the majority of reloadable systems today.

That's what the Soviet Union is for. Testing our stuff.

For $5000 these guys made a nice little hobby rocket.

Why is that bear breathing his bad breath directly at Russia? Send him to the gulag.

Here is a honorary picture of the happy Putin. Coincidently it is identical to the sad Putin, the worried Putin, the scared Putin, and all other Putins.
