Wanna Buy a Reusable Rocket for 19k USD?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cheap-thrill dept.

Anonymous Coward writes with story from the Mainchi Daily News: "'Earlier this month, Hokkaido University started putting its Camui rockets on the open market. Camui rockets are true rockets, being 1.6 meters long, flying at 300 meters per second and parachuting slowly to the ground after reaching heights of up to 1 kilometer.' The Camui use a mixture of fixed fuel acrylic and liquid oxygen."

    I have problems with people being able to buy such equipment. Ready made rockets. While making a rocket is not the most difficult thing in the world, lets slow the process for terrorists or would-be-terrorists by not making things like this available (which i am shocked in our day and age someone can buy these)

    That is the most inane post I have ever seen in my life. Seriously. I congratulate you. Not only did you utterly waste my time it took to read that, but you managed to get modded up so that most others will also utterly waste their time reading it.
