I loved it! I'll show this clip to one of our new members who is an Aeronautical Engineer. I can just see the wheels revolving in his head as I ask him to help our squadron do the same!!!

That was cool.   Whenever I see fire and a guy yelling into a loud speaker in a foreign language I usually expect it to end with mass carnage and flying body parts >:D

That was just so cool!

Let's see, three of them might put something in sub orbit.

Wonder if someone is going to volunteer to ride the next shot?

WOW!! Now that changes everything you have ever thought about rockets. When do they get put into mass production?

GREAT video. How many of you remember Wan Hu from our Aerospace 81 cadet text?

http://history.msfc.nasa.gov/rocketry/06.html (http://history.msfc.nasa.gov/rocketry/06.html) shows the same graphic - note CAP credit.

Now, had Wan Hoo/Hu used a rotationally stable vehicle, perhaps his legend would have been even greater. Not that I'm endorsing the Roton, which had an HQR of 10.

V/R,

I get to tell the story of Wan Hoo once or twice a year since I've incorporated it into the Model Rockets material I use!
