Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Mega OT: Hobbyist rocket reaches 293k ft

There was a time a few years ago that I though putting something into geo was cool. Then I worked on two programs to go to cis lunar. 

Still amateurs…

Amateur, uhhhh, yep.   Had this happened in the 50s or 60s, way cool.  But you’re looking the same direction I was thinking.   Was this registered with the FAA (I have a niece, lawyer type, who works on this stuff after leaving NASA).   Was CINCNORAD notified?   Something entering NAS at Mach 4 got someone’s attention.   If it was all registered, all is good.  If it wasn’t, there will be a knock on the door and questions asked.  Even at only 4° deviation, that’s 20,500ft (4 miles) off line at apogee… wind direction, descent velocity, cross section, nearest habitation?  This could go from too cool to really dumb in a heartbeat. 

Not like school kids launching an Estes.

Damn that is cool.

 

What does it take to launch and fly a rocket? I mean, this is serious crap. Surely it must take clearance from the military to do something like this (or do you just do a Kim Jong-un and fire it anyways?).
