Every fact you learn about these guys is more audacious and awesome than the last. Not just a rocket, one carrying a life size dummy. Not land, sea on a floating platform they made themselves. Boat? Nope. Giant hand-made submarine. It's the kind of mad, mad, science I dreamed of as a kid.
The story seems like it should end with "they don't always drink beer, but when they do..."
- blhack 15y agoAgreed. These people are absolutely an inspiration and should be on every television station there is; hopefully kids will idolize them.
- cph1 15y agoHere's a picture of the rocket and the submarine: http://i2-images2.tv2net.dk/s/49/20942149-29ce372936dd69adf1db85431752feb8.jpeg http://i2-images2.tv2net.dk/s/49/20942149-29ce372936dd69adf1... The picture was taken in September last year when the first (failed) attempt to launch the rocket was made. Here's a picture of the succesful launch today: http://www.bornholmstidende.dk/nonsec/NPIX/2011/6/Launch.jpg http://www.bornholmstidende.dk/nonsec/NPIX/2011/6/Launch.jpg Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmGmymAWI4E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmGmymAWI4E
- cph1 15y agoBtw., they only used their homemade submarine to tow the rocket platform at the first launch attempt (last September). This time around they decided to enable the rocket platform to sail on its own: http://politiken.tv/nyheder/videnskab/article1298751.ece http://politiken.tv/nyheder/videnskab/article1298751.ece
