Copenhagen Suborbitals

i recently noticed a thread on the aircraft forum discussing a home-made hovercraft and i thought, "hmmn, yeah maybe this news about an ongoing effort by volunteers to launch a man into space deserves some commentary on ATS."...

read on.

Our mission is very simple. We are working towards launching a human being into space. This is a non-profit suborbital space endeavor lead by Kristian von Bengtson and Peter Madsen, based entirely on sponsors and volunteers.

more info, pics, videos and updates can be found on their site: Copenhagen SubOrbitals

I actually had the pleasure of doing an artistic event with Peter Madsen this summer, and was with the team when his Submarine, Kraka got pensioned. He is a fantastic person and his idea with all his biga$$ projects, are that you can do anything, no matter who you are, what education and where you are...

Really a freethinker and a kind person.

Best Regards.

Loke.:.

ps.

He is the first person from Denmark who are gonna enter the space and Denmark will become the 4th nation to break the space/man barrier.

pps

I will write him an email about your idea.
