  • Vikings in space !

    Well, the project may sound crazy, but this guy has actually built a submarine, so why not this ?


    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

    He's getting volatiles leaking from the connection between the main engine and the oxidizer tank. That's really bad. See the video from :53 to 1:02 or so.

        I'm sure he knows that. I am in no sense an aerospatial engineer. And I appreciated the video, BC. I give this guy (and everybody else trying to drop the cost of spaceflight) my full moral support.

        I just think that he's got a ways to go before he mounts that engine on a vehicle.

            But neither of them discovered any evidence of candy bars.

              Bending metal and firing their engine

              There are several of these garage start-up suborbital space endeavors in the US too. Armadillo Aerospace, Unreasonable Rocket, etc.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                I'm sure Pinky and the Brain have a project going too.
