this design is pretty fun. it weighs only 90 pounds, so it wont be the kind of thing to take payloads up in the future lol. But it's a great proof of concept and cheap(ish) to run development platform. It's a two stage rocket with about 80% of the space in each stage taken up by propellant, the rest being avionics and recovery gear. this rocket is completely re usable.
the launch of the space shot rocket has also been moved up!
though skinny and light, this rocket doesn't skimp on the power, flying to an altitude of 378,870 ft above ground level, with a peak speed of mach 5.06. though not really relevant in spaceflight, its fun to calculate that it has a peak horsepower of 17,580.
anyway that's today's ramble for you
