I love the design of the Black Arrow rocket. It looks like something out of a 1950's sci-fi movie.
Also, looks like someone beat you to the punch back in 2011:

- jgrahamc 12y agoThat person appears to have listened to ORBCOMM not Prospero and did not send any commands.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoHmm, sounds like he heard something on 148.000 MHz which seems to be its control frequency. Nope, he didn't send any commands. I wonder if sending commands without permission would violate some treaty or law.
- sean-duffy 12y agoI have to agree with you about the Black Arrow - here in the museum in Liverpool is one of the Black Knight rockets which were the test vehicles the Black Arrow was based on. I think the design of the Black Knight is even more fantastical, it intrigued ever me since I went to the museum as a child. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Black_Knight_tail.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Black_Kni...
