pretty good find, Sup Forumsentleman.
Alexander Taylor
I love rocket launches.
I hope it explodes.
Jackson Lewis
How long till launch???
Michael Nguyen
It will fail like anything that is open-source
Michael Robinson
Suck a dick, wrong website, shill.
Jonathan Ward
They are preparing to start loading the LOX now, so 20-40 minutes I would say
There's a liveblog here copenhagensuborbitals.com
and checklist here copenhagensuborbitals.com
They had a couple of successful launches already and their engine design is working fine
Kayden Kelly
Ah, those crazy bastards. It's been awhile since I've heard any news from them. Are they still planning on launching a human in this thing?
Connor Smith
Not this one since it failed, they have completely new engines and designs now
Aiden Anderson
Launch in 10 to 15 minutes!
Colton Perez
SERVER DOWN
Aaron Flores
Launching now.
Justin Diaz
rofl
Leo Ross
And it died
Logan Russell
God dammit
Jacob Campbell
rip
waiting on electron rocket launch
Jordan Brown
Quick, recover, refuel, and re-launch.
Hudson Murphy
What happened?
Dominic Flores
God damn it, at least a failure is always a good way to learn something
I wonder if the fuel evaporated due to the heat
Eli Perez
I don't know anything about this.
What sets this rocket apart from the dozens of sub orbital rockets that the rocket community in the south west of the US launches all the time?
Does it have any new technology?
Mason Sanders
I think mainly because it has active guidance and uses liquid fuel.
Ian Parker
It's a crowdfunded, non-profit and totally volunteer/amateur project
This as well, their end goal is to send a human into space and you can't do that on a simple rocket design due to the Gs you'd take on lift-off.
Jose Russell
They retrieved the nose cone
Something clearly went wrong with the fuel
Julian Cook
You prefer the garbagecan car to the tesla? OK kid. Whatever you say.
Aaron Scott
The garbage car won't drive me into a fucking wall
Robert Baker
its a shame
what was the problem with the fuel?
Cooper Baker
>what was the problem with the fuel?
Apparently it's not a fuel problem, but they don't have the data yet so we don't know.
What made me think it could have been a fuel issue is how the rocket's plume suddenly turned from being invisible to white smoke, leading me to believe that only LOX was being exhausted from the engine after some time.
