open source build your own ROCKET SHIP!! 1!

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/05/heat-1600-concept-development-the-manifestation-of-dreams-and-ambitions-for-download/

Nothing is secret at Copenhagen Suborbitals, we are not Boeing or SpaceX – so please go ahead – download the entire rocket here (Solidworks 2013, IGES and STP, 13MB total) - this machine will take you into space. If you follow this blog and my twitter profile you will find this rocket for download in greater detail, as development continues. Why not build it yourself?

Also, the Sapphire-1 – active guided rocket – was assembled today be the sapphire-team. Saturday May 19 we will perform an all-up rehearsal of the launch in the waters, outside Copenhagen.

Very ambitious, still keeping my fingers crossed.
BTW what are you going to use as catalyst? Potassium permanganate?

oluf bagger Lech • 2 days ago

The catalyst they have used in the turbine tests until now have been Potassium Permangenate diffused into cat litter. The KMnO4 enriched cat litter is then put between nets in a reaction chamber and H2O2 under pressure is fed into the chamber. On the video's it work like a charm.
