I read in my local rag today (Sept. 2) that our friend Peter Madsen,who let us ride his self-built u-boat during last years' subsim meeting in Copenhagen/Denmark, and his colleague Kristian von Bengtson will launch their rocket "Heat-1 X-Tycho-Brahe" (40.000 € development costs) today.

"The rocket manned with a 70 kilogram astronaut dummy is to go up 30 kilometers and should go down in the Baltic sea, if things work out, so that the rocket can be used again".

Anybody else got more info on the story?
