this is pretty out there. People will die. Every part of a rocket motor is volatile as hell. Its like sitting in a fucking firework. A vehicle moving at Rocket speeds (Mach 5+) is REALLY hard to control… thats if it doesnt get torn apart from the stress and heat first.
Be better off building human guided grenades.

Well, get to work. There’s gotta be a lot of Darwinian losses out in the sticks.
Seriously though, Tax dollars go to Nasa, Nasa spends it on this? But I pay $160/mo for Health for me & the fiance. :roll2:

I dont think NASA is sponsoring this, unless I read it wrong. It is sponsored by the guy who had the 10 mil prize for the first private company to get into space… the X prize…
not nasa.
