Heres a little video to get you going :)

TV2 in denmark will deliver a live feed from the actual launch....

Um, good luck and God's speed :salute:

wow, will it actually have a pilot?:o

Not this one...but some iterations down the road it will have a passenger into space :D

ah ok...really thought I saw a pilot-seat in that movie.
Thx for the clip anyway, looking forward to the launch.

There IS a pilot seat there, because the plan is to put a person in the module later, but first they need to have some successfull flights with a dummy in the seat.

This project is planning to put a man in space :D

Check these pics out:

Looks incredible - looking forward to seeing that take off.

I don't see what this has anything to do with SH5, just a thread to boast about your countryman's endeavors. In my opinion the Danes are dreamers, nothing more.

Cool story, bro.

Dont you have anything usefull to say?

I partially agree with ddrgn in this.

But I disagree on how he said it.

Many threads in this forum have been moved to the General Topics, I don't see why this one should not.

Personally I would have reply with: Cool to see McBeck, but I think it belongs to the General Topics.

You don't have to be offended with this, everyone make mistakes.

(I do a lot when I write in english...:O:)

Your post really rubbed me the wrong way, because I find it really insulting.

But let me try and put it into some perspective...

First, I posted it here because the people who joined the Subsim meeting 2009, frequent these forums. The reason is that the same guys who builds this rocket - have build 3 submarines, one of which we played with for 2 days during the meeting. At the meeting he also showed hes new project - rockets!

Secondly, because it off topic, I marked the thread clearly as OT

As for danes being only dreamers....the fact that he build 3 submarines puts him the pioneer catagory. He doesnt just dream about it - he makes it happen!

I hope this makes it more clear to you.

Thanks! I know its off topic, but see my post above as to why I posted it here - hopefully that will explain it :)

Thanks for update, McBeck.
All the best of luck to Peter Madsen, his crew and his project.
