We don't need anything fancy. We don't need awesome sensors and crazy measurement devices. All we really need Is a modded cellphone with a decent battery life and a means of sending data back. Although a simple balancing mechanism, would make for a better video.
Our goal is simply: To see if we can To see if we can get away with it. Cause as much havoc in the process. simple
We have many sources on Sup Forums that we can pool from: /sci/ - could handle the logistics for us /k/ - could help us with a fuel source, and rocket design. /biz/ - can help us pick affordable and easily acquirable chemicals for our fuel Sup Forums - could work on the phones firmware while Sup Forums, /x/, & Sup Forums Popularize our plans by repeatedly spamming it on Sup Forums.
Why the fuck not? There is a good chance they will shut down the threads before we even get to fire the rocket. But by that time we'll have already caused enough havoc to laugh at the headlines. But who knows, what if we do get away with it? Why the fuck shouldn't we attempt this clearly insane idea?
Share any thoughts or ideas. Yes, I am aware this insane lul. However, it is not so insane to say we can't do it.
[This update albeit rushed, I just wanted to give us some kind starting point. While I continue to look through the original thread and research on my own. Feel free to use this, or change the formatting anyway you see fit]
The Starting point: >Step 1. For right now our first goal should be creating a more secure webpage for sharing ideas and discussing things which are borderline illegal. If not out right illegal. >Darkweb would be a good platform for this.
Some of things we'll need but not limited to: >1. A safe platform to work on and communicate with each other. >2. A method of labeling anonymous people as (newfriend, trusted, mathematician, physicist, chemist, metal worker, supplier, ect.) >3. An open chat, a trusted chat, and team chats. This is for when we later are more structured and have groups of people working on specific aspects of the project. >Chan boards aren't out of the question if that's what everyone wants. >4. A way of saving our work/documents while restricting access based on aforementioned labels.
Note: If there is any security conscious people, people with a deep understanding of anonymity, or deep-webdesign. Your input is much needed on this step. We need to make sure the safety of everyone involved is at our upmost priority.
[Lastly, please avoid doing anything that could compromise your identity while we get this site up.]

Looking ahead: As we venture forward and plan our first step beyond the reaches of our stratosphere. Lets not look so far that we loose sight of the complications along the way. Lets instead take some time to looks at future problems and let them sink in while we assess the current one.
Cost and the acquisition of funds: I think it is a pretty fair assumption that we want the majority of this money to come from other people and not our personal banks. I'm not above donating money to the project, however it would be better to take a different approach. Crowd funding is one way and we can take many stances on that. Starting faux or funny crowd funds in addition legitimate ones. (of course we'll disguise that we're in anyway shape or form affiliated with Sup Forums. There arises another problem. How can we can create a trust that isn't immediately going to devolve into a scam to steal our money?
Any ideas, share them. scams welcomed.
Connor Taylor
Something fun to think about along the way: What is it we ultimately want? The topic of micro-sats was brought up. While I agree this is the most affordable approach it is lack luster. I am not against the idea nor am I against sending up a cell phone or a digital camera. I think it is important to talk about what we really want our satellite to be capable of. Then look at how we can implement that in a practical sense.
Do we want Micro-sat? Do we want cheap? Or do we want we want something of our own design? If so, what would be it's purpose? i.e. Spying on people with an added feature of focusing 3 1w lasers at a target? Any ideas, share them. Nothing is to crazy.
[Please note: I did rush through this update. Lastly, please avoid doing anything that could compromise your own identity while we get this site up.]

We have many resources on Sup Forums that we can pool from. Like-minded people who can help us do the impossible. We have the numbers, we have the intelligence, we have the combined knowledge to make this happen. We will obtain the impossible or send the media into a panic trying! These powerful words! Words that will guide our political views into the stars.
We must resist the Abusive Mods of Sup Forums and fight for what we know is True.

Use balloons then launch it from so high up nobody notices.
Charles Moore
Reminder that if pol wants to go ahead with this, don't use (((rocket))) meme designs. Space is a fluid that reacts to electro magnetic pulses. You don't need thrusters, you need a capsule with rods going in all directions with power going through them. It's the only way, don't believe (((their))) lies.

If we can get at least one HAM operator onboard with the project we can get an amateur radio frequency, and rig a tubesat to broadcast a series of redpills on loop until it deorbits.
Logan Cruz
Use a second hand weather balloon with a rocket strapped to the side. Once it hits it's maximum altitude set the rocket off and make sure it transmits data straight away because you're not getting the fucker back.
Ethan Williams
Could it be possible to make an aerogel balloon? You can waterproof it. The reason I suggest this is because aerogel can withstand the pressure of a truck. Thus it will stay in our atmosphere longer.

Dominic Butler
You know I think this would be a lot more do-able. If you can water proof aerogel. I see no reason why you can't use it to hold helium or hydrogen.
aerogel.org/?cat=10 Teach you how to make high-quality monolithic aerogel, from building your our own supercritical drying apparatus, to mixing up the wet ingredients, to actually performing the supercritical drying operation.
We would then only need to water proof it after filling it's body with hydrogen.
Aerogel is already lighter than air and it's durability gives us the added bonus of keeping it in the atmosphere longer.
We just need to account for the weight of solar paneling, camera, gps, and transmitter. Create a simple apparatus for shifting directions. An intelligent design to keep the majority of the weight shifted center downwards. Then we'll effective created our own stratos survalience satellite.
You can even buy Aerogel blocks relatively cheap

we get sam hydes cum, launch it to the moon, it explodes on the moon causing sam hydes cum to cover a small surface area of the moon, moon is now contaminated with sam hyde, sam hyde bacteria emerges from cum, spreads, hundreds of millions of years go by and species of sam hyde moon life have have evolved to not breath and eat space rock to survive, space moon sam hyde aliens become so advanced they take over earth easily because we nuked ourselves already and only jews and niggers survived it, moon sam hyde aliens purify the earth and its now 100% white, checkmate.

good question
Brandon Williams
fuck it, let's go for a wood-fueled spaceship
a modified drone could get us high enough up that we don't need as much fuel on the way up
Jaxson Adams
your crazy, a drone or anything that uses air to propell wont work as the higher you get the less air until you reach the point where there is not enough air to propell you up but can sustain your position and you are going to be stuck in place
Cameron Nguyen
SS 55, Kek wills it. Can we make the SS look like the German SS?
Easton Ross
Why don't we just crowdfund for a couple and ask the indians to make us a rocket? Didn't they send one up for like 60m$?
Blake Cooper
Why not just a simple helium ballon and a camera+radio to send pics/video and geolocalisation tracker device ? Big helium ballon is super simple.
Adrian Jackson
How would we even get together to pull this off? we live hundreds and thousands of kilometers away from eachother. We would need to spend weeks in a workshop or a garage to even make a prototype

Hydrogen balloon is even better, it's cheap, home-made and they go higher than helium.
Either use pic related or generate it by electrolysis (use an old PC power supply they can pull many amps at 12V DC)
Jackson Thompson
and how exactly?
Carson Mitchell
if its small enough and you dont tell people your doing it how do they know?
You'd be surprised how little energy is required to break a rocket's key components apart.

That shit is extremely toxic. I can get hydrazine salts, but making a fuckload anhydrous hydrazine from that outside a lab setting is a bit too crazy.

Interesting. I definitely think a ballon is the way to go desu, it gets the job done with little ressources and no complexity.
If we could use a government run space program that'd be even better but I don't see how with little money.
Daniel Gomez
>60 million
This thing should be at most a couple grand
We need only to prove that space is acessible to anyone, but it would be nice to prove that that it's also affordable, and cheaper than the billions NASA and other space agencies cost.
it's pretty volatile and dangerous, I highly doubt we can get any reasonable quantities
