genericorahnge9680 you pay for it.🤷‍♂️🤷🏾‍♀️

[@olincollege]

This rocket reached ~10,000ft with a maximum velocity approaching Mach 1!

[@jahova77]

Did you guys retrieve the rocket ?

[@goldgamercommenting2990]

Supersonic speeds?!
That’s damn impressive

[@topcat43truffles15]

Congratulations on a beautiful launch. Thank You for the information, it’s always nice to find out the results. 👍🏻🍻😎

[@barrykendrick133]

Great job and perfect skies

[@pradiptadas6859]

That was pretty fast.

[@omarflores3150]

if you think that's fast just look at some other 100G rockets, Kips flight reached Mach 4 in a matter of seconds

[@LisaAnn777]

Lol

[@colbysmith2460]

Thats actually somewhat slow for home-made rockets. If they had a carbon fiber base with a fiber glass hull and used liquid fuel THEY COULD LITERALLY TRIPLE THE SPEED !!!!!

[@SpaceFactsWax]

Thank you for uploading. I had the chance to see a rocket launch in 2018. Unbelievable experience. I posted a pretty cool video of the trip to my channel.

[@ButtersDaBaller]

Mmmm that thud when the engine ignites 🥹🥹🥹

[@PleriXMusic]

pls if you can tell me the fuel mixture thx i wanna try

[@astrodingra]

Are we getting data ?
No 😢

[@colbysmith2460]

they actually did

[@richardottum1]

Please put an onboard digital camera onboard this fast of a rocket and live off the youtube money for a video found nowhere else

[@SikSika]

You could have already sold it to the military and they would like it, although the timed delay is not efficiently equipped for service it looks to be effective

[@colbysmith2460]

No actually. its a stem based rocket. it is not heavy enough or big enough to hold a war head or any kind of explosive. this rocket can hold a egg and a gps at most

[@ButtersDaBaller]

@@colbysmith2460would make a badass firework tho :)

[@davidwatts5120]

Glad you are all wearing your masks

[@Nottsboy24]

Super Cool 👍 😎 🚀

[@chevaughngoshine2982]

What motors did you guys use E motors or D motors?

[@hellohunter8583]

Looks like an I motor

[@danielbrakenhoff2825]

More like a L or M motor

[@anukrathnayake]

I agree probably L or M

[@davidmunisi5420]

😂😂😂🙌🏾​@@anukrathnayake

[@user-md3ie1wg5m]

How much feet that rocket reached ?

[@LisaAnn777]

More than 10 feet I can guarantee.

[@SpaceflightExplained]

at least 2

[@kkgamersvloggers645]

If the designer of that rocket was in dude perfect, he would easily win a trip to space.

[@rajeshdas392]

How much height?

[@olincollege]

This rocket reached ~10,000ft with a maximum velocity approaching Mach 1!

[@milad8255]

that was legitness

[@Wyattbmarksman]

That thing is in orbit lol

[@auntie_Slayer]

Hamas be like 😉

[@colbysmith2460]
