Danes Build Holy Grail of Amateur Rockets

A group of Danes, known as the Copenhagen Suborbitals, have constructed the world's largest amateur rocket. This beast stands at 9 meters tall, and unlike the typical wood-based models, the Heat 1X is a real metal rocket.

Says Gizmodo,

"The Copenhagen Suborbitals operate from an abandoned shipyard in the outskirts of the Danish capital. This group of nutters rolled out their Heat 1X engine last Sunday. The image above puts it next to their planned beasts and the first ballistic missile ever: The German V-2."

Images posted by the group on forum Something Awful (and I quote, "We're building a rocket.

We're building it bigger."):
