Europe's Biggest Amateur Rocket Completes Test-Firing

Posted by timothy on from the in-space-no-one-can-file-a-noise-complaint dept.

Michael Eriksen writes "The Danish amateur rocket group Copenhagen Suborbitals has successfully test fired their rocket (article in Danish). It is a 90,000 kW monster delivering a total of 140,000 N. According to the group, this is by far the biggest amateur rocket ever fired in Europe. The final goal is a manned (!) low-orbital flight."

    Let's not forget that ethnically, the sitting House of Windsor, Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and North Ireland, Head of the Commonwealth, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Duke of Normandy, Lord of the Isle of Mann, and Paramount Chief of Fiji, is part Danish.

    The Danes must be held accountable!
