That's pretty awesome.... Imagine if that guy was the first guy to catch footage of an orbiting space craft ;)

Some guys from MIT did something similar for only $150 in parts.
I would like to try it build one some day.

NASA would've spent 150 Million on a mission like this, using equipment worth 15 million and being faced with 2-3 launch delays that cost 1.5 million each.

I'm thinking it would be kinda cool to try it at night time rather day. Being able to see all the lights on etc

that's awesome! I thought it would have landed in another state at least! Wonder what would happen if everyone in a city launched one at the exact same time! GG to some planes!

Wow that's pretty awesome! I wonder if the U.S. military radar detected its presence or not.

I would have thought you would need clearance from the FAA before launching somehitng like this.

Instead of making a new thread I thought I would just add this here!

Half price space flight test... half price compared to NASA...
