Plucky Danes and their Amateur Space Program

Copenhagen Suborbital is cool because they aren't dependent on any billionaires.  Sadly, they haven't flown since 2013, but wouldn't it be cool to see the Danes in space?

Huh? They launched something in July this year. Sadly a fuel loading mistake resulted in too little LOX pressure, which in turn made the engine shut down way too early, and thus the launch a failure. But they are in fact very active right now. Just look at their youtube channel, or their Twitter feed. Engine tests with a new gimbal system, new flight controller hardware, building another rocket for next year, doing design work on the engine for a manned rocket...

I thought that launch, with the inadvrtent shutdown, occurred back in 2013.  It is difficult for me to keep my facts straight between professional and recreational reading, though.  Thanks for the correction!  It's nice o know they are more active than I thought!
