Copenhagen Suborbitals - Upcoming rocket engine test!

[McBeck]

Hi all

Just wanted to update you on the next test 17th May. This will be the first public test (and long awaited) of the liquid (Alc/LOX) engine.

The previous tests have been with solid/liquid propellant, but this time they are going back to basics, following in the footsteps of the german V2 rockets from WWII.

Check out the picture in this article...WOW!

Hmmm....

1814
The Treaty of Kiel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Kiel) ended the war on 15 January 1814. Denmark-Norway had to cede (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation) Heligoland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heligoland) to Britain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland) and all of Norway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway) to the king of Sweden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden).


But we gave Heligoland back a long time ago :DL
