Anyone else seen this? Amateur rocket fired into space
A Yank getting more news/press in the UK than in the US. Sad.
Makes ya wonder about our news media. Mike Alaska Frank Scrooby wrote: Hi all Is this significant at all? So far only the BBC is reporting it (as far as I can see). Amateur rocket fired into space http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3724841.stm Quote from BBC website: " A 14-second burn allowed the rocket to reach an altitude of more than 100km - the official boundary of space - in about three minutes. It reportedly spent several minutes in space before beginning its descent. The rocket and the payload came down on separate parachutes. " Anyone? Regards Frank Scrooby |
