In Spain Gran Canaria in village Carrizal I found a street: CALLE COSMONAUTA COLLINS. Eh...astronauta Collins? What? https://i.imgur.com/BAxfxdf.jpg

But...very good test flight.

I guess too many engine outs.

I am ok to go.

After many years my rocket did fly. For a while. Thank you Kerbal Space Program for inspiration.

Welcome to follow small rocket engine testing and rocket building on my youtube channel. Latest news: -Thrust vectoring controlling done. -The longest static fire ever done 25 seconds. -Throttling control done, thrust down to 35% from maximum thrust. Trying this summer launching and landing.

On June they will try quantum drive in space. Scam or not. What do you think? https://www.universetoday.com/160516/the-first-all-electrical-thruster-the-ivo-quantum-drive-is-headed-to-space/

One landing leg deploy was slow.

Here I am sitting at home and watching live video from Moon. Very interesting.

"Everything flies before SLS". No.

On my mark...hi Mark!

Sevenperforce: I knew it was you who make calculations. Thank you.

Hi! I have been designing and building small rocket engines few years and now I have a rocket almost ready. It is passive fin stabilized. Wet mass is 3 kg. It consumes propellants about 35 g/s (average), burn time is 10 seconds. Thrust curve is 1 second intervals in newtons: 44-41-39-37-33-31-29-27-24-22 Yes, I have problems keeping thrust steady. I have tested that fins do work at speed of 10 km/h. Look video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nSyWYE1VlM Now I need to build launch stand/rail/tower. Can anyone calculate lenght of launch rail to achieve that 10 km/h speed? And what is estimated apogee?

Copper. Here uncooled rocket engine melts. Green flash if you look close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-EDY0cfBu0

Yes, that is me:) After making rocket engine I have designed and build actual rocket. Slowly, but I think launch is next year 2022. I put videos about progress to Youtube. Welcome to follow.
