Ok, do not get me wrong. I congratulate the students for achieving anything of the sort. Anything like firing a rocket that gets to an altitude of even a few kilometres is an achievement by itself. But, this rocket is a DIY solid fuel rocket roughly the size of a GRAD artirely missile. So to tell me that this one actually made it to a 100 km altitude is a bit of a stretch that is difficult to swallow.

I really want to send my own rocket into space. I-m 14 and I really love space and I-d say I-m doing well at school. We have the opportunity to send a rocket to space with our names on it if we win this competition but I-m not confident enough so I-m gonna wait till I-m older and team with people to send my own rocket to space.

I bet they ordered the rocket with a budget scratch that they got a hobby team to do it. Got Jo to super glue a camera on. The girls made coffee, one of them wrote a speech. No programming or advanced integrated systems. Gave themselves a name and said they were first with pictures. They world misses humans with real initiative.

This is wrong, they are not the first to do this in 2002 the air force academy cadets started a program known as falcon launch they hold the record for collage students putting a rocket into space. Their current record is 355, 000 feet which is well above the karman line at 330, 000 and was achieved on april 24, 2009

Yea, figures. Government standing in the way of progress. Make you want to launch, then ask for permission. Space should be 'Free' as stated by most countries. As long as you don't hit anything on the way up or down, kick the tires, and light the fires.

And in public education, they throw money at trying to help the dummies learn to read and write ignoring the people like this group who will actually benefit society. Great to see what they can do when intelligence is required and funded.

imagine delaying such a cool college project by multiple months by shutting the government down to throw a tantrum because nobody wants to give you money to destroy your relations with a neighbour state as much as possible.

Amazing accomplishment for these students. However, when one thinks of sending something into -space-, generally you think of the payload or vehicle having a stable orbit or a stable sub orbital trajectory.

Why the heck can't you use the metric system for your reporting? The team used it, the interviewee used it, and most importantly you claim to do SCIENCE REPORTING. It's so pathetic.

I hate questions like -how did you feel when you accomplished your goal what was going through your head? - Like what do you think they-re going to say? Ask a meaningful question
