Copenhagen Suborbitals Test Rocket Engine

An anonymous reader writes Copenhagen Suborbitals, the amateur manned space program, is conducting a rocket engine test today. The event is being streamed Live in HD on YouTube. The rocket engine is named BPM 2 and is a prequel to a planned series of test of the BPM 5 rocket engine currently being built. The purpose of the BPM 2 test is primarily to test a newly constructed mobile test stand and to test various fuel additives before the BPM 5 test series are to begin later in the first half of 2015.

    Would it kill someone to let us know when this is supposed to happen? I clicked through a few links and could not find the time, and if they do not want to make it obvious then I have other things to do. They have timers all over the place, but again, they do not make it clear what they mean. They need a volunteer who can handle human interaction from us lazy, igorant folk.
