I want it to work because it would be so fuckin cool. Yeet my ashes into orbit pls.
good news
10 successful test flights
None of which reached orbit iirc. So y(literal)mmv.
hmmm, I would not call that successful considering it has 1 job.
but I guess actually launching is a good milestone considering the forces involved if anything goes wrong.
No worries. Adam savage's panjandrum showed the large forces could be countered by about 6" of mud.
