Rocket Boys of BU

Here's a bunch of folks doing something interesting. From Gizmag.....

"Partly funded by a Kickstarter campaign, students at Boston University are developing an inexpensive suborbital rocket for educational purposes that uses new engine designs to create a cheaper, reusable suborbital rocket that's easier on the payload."

Scheduled to fly in July 2015, the "Starscraper," is a 30 feet long and weighs 1,100 lb and is designed to lift a 100 pound payload to an altitude of just over 82 miles, then return it to Earth.

Want to buy in? Click HERE for their Kickstarter campaign. Hurry, there's less than three days to go!
