What a milestone launch! AWESOME! We saw the model rocket on display in Huntsville, Alabama at the Marshall Space Flight Center. Just standing next to the model, which is right next to the real deal Saturn 5 rocket inside, gives me the chills I felt as a child watching them launch on tv.

Excellent ride. Well done, Steve. Your name is going down in model rocket history.

My hat’s off to Steve. It was great to see the video of the launch. I was into model rocketry 20+ years ago (Estes rockets, that sort of thing) when I was in elementary and jr. high school. I used to dream of building rockets like this.

Hi there Steve!

I have just finished reading the book. Riding Rockets by shuttle astronaut Mike Mullane which was among the funniest books I\’ve ever read, and here you come with the icing of my cake, that was wonderfull.
I just want to tell you about a guy here in Denmark, Peter Madsen, who personally have built 2 functioning submarines and now are getting ready to launch himself into space in a homemade rocket. The tests have come out very promising and he have got the necessary permissions to launch his spaceship.

Anyway, wonderfull job you did, go on and show us some more.

best regards
Lars Andersen

Brilliant work Steve. Congratulations!

However, you know that natural progression kind of demands a few more launches… Sell some advertising to fund it.

Launches with a powered second and third stage seem necessary.

Maybe 5 P and 4 N’s in the first stage, and a cluster of rockets on the second stage, and a single on the third.

This kind of a launch would demand telemetry & GPS (which was likely employed already) and an onboard camera for the first stage, most likely recording locally.

Again, A fine achievement! Please continue!
