  1. Orbital Dinosaur project by photozz · · Score: -1, Troll

    HI, I am attempting to procure government financing for an aerospace project. I would like to see USA be the first country to put a fat bloated purple dinosaur into orbit around the sun. Code name "Taco". I have managed to scrounge several 8' 2x4's, a cinderblock and a 55 gallon drum, as a proof of concept. If anyone has access to a pulse rocket, or dynamite, we may be able to take the next step.
