    Wanna go into space?

    These guys are developing a single-person space-torpedo thingy. I think I want to have a go!

    COPENHAGEN SUBORBITALS - OPEN SOURCE AND NON PROFIT SPACE

    The need for adventure is intrinsic in human beings. We need it. If we don't have it we will not develop as a species and will die.

    The bottom photo has me sold. Hardly any impact damage at all. And an water landing to top it off.

    Madness doesn't always howl. Sometimes its a quiet voice in the middle of a model build that says "Hey buddy, is there room in your head for one more?"

    I'm up for it. What's the damage going to be? (to my wallet hopefully not to my body)...

    Hey! My man Brahe got that MF nose cut off in duel! He wouldn't have been mistaken for a member of the Big Bang Theory cast. Some say he was a fighter, a hard drinker, a party guy and an epic womanizer... As Ali G would say, "Respeck!"
