It's missing something. Perhaps a trebuchet.

I do admire his determination, however...

HAHAHA!

I would have to agree with you there. To be honest, he is probably lucky that it didn't get off the ground. It would probably come crashing down pretty quickly and someone might get hurt.

Also agreed.
 
Oh, so close to entering the 20th century.
 
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!

I do hope he never gets it up to flying speed, as I agree it'll be his first and last flight. Surely he has friends or family who can talk him out of it! If not, their loss will be tragic.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
