Inventor to Launch Pop Bottle Rocket into Space

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday February 18, 2008 @07:22AM from the next-comes-the-lawn-chair-with-balloons dept.

DrButts writes "An inventor in British Columbia wants to be the first to launch a pop bottle rocket into space. 'This could be impossible, but the CEO of AntiGravity Research already holds the altitude record for boosting an elongated plastic pop bottle — propelled by a bicycle pump, water and a bit of soap — into the air. Firing the ubiquitous, two-litre plastic container usually consigned to the recycle bin into space might create a whole new definition for space junk, but the dream keeps Schellenberg going.'"
