Planning to build a rocket to go to 200,000 feet

[Guest Brody_Peffley]

Im planning to build a hybrid rocket. Its going to go to 200,000 feet. Drop a payload. And than land the payload like the space shuttle via rc. Everything is going to be reused. I'll make sure jeb will be on there. And I hope all those kerbals don't die if the parachute doesn't open... .Anyone want to ask my any questions on what you want me to do? Tommorow when worked on. I'll show you a picture of the payload. The engine will almost look like this, But alot smaller

And this is what would happen if my parachute doesn't open..

What sort of engine is that? Can't tell if it's a solid fuel or liquid fuel from the video.

He mentioned the hybrid rocket in the first sentence. I'm assuming he means hybrid engine. And it definitely looks like a hybrid in video with oxidizer pumped in via one of these tubes.

Not really a lot of other options for a small rocket to climb to 200 feet, either.

Good luck.

I love the little "poof" the rocket makes at the end.

That's what I get for watching the video without sound I guess.

Not a model? A real, NASA-grade rocket?

Not precisely NASA-grade, but anything that can make it 40 miles into the air qualifies as a good sounding rocket.

Watching that thing coming down, at that sort of speed tells me one thing: Invest in a helmet.
