Nice looking space hardware! I wish them all the best!

If they get the guidance right this summer, we might be looking at a launch of this baby next year or failing that the year after.
In any case, it will be amazing!

Are you going to volunteer to be the first to go up? Back in the 1960's, when NASA was launching Project Mercury and Gemini, I would have volunteered in a minute!! But, I was a teenager then, so I never thought about how dangerous it is!

Looking at what they are designing, reminds me of Project Mercury!! I hope everything goes ok for them! I wonder what the trajectory will be for liftoff? Going to be flying over a lot of different countries during launch.

I'm not going but Peter is. They are just going into space, not orbit and the plan is to go strait up, so they don't fly over countries.

I always wanted to build the Estes Mercury Redstone, looks like they did too. :D
