There were four humans on board, sent to the space station to conduct scientific research, some of which may be lifesaving. Are you saying you’d rather them have died in a failure?

Thank you! It’s an amazing experience, if you ever have the opportunity go for it!

The launch was cancelled due to a storm cloud that was over the launch site at that time. It went just a few hours ago fully successfully.

Our rocket test site is in good hands this week.

Copenhell brought the thunder — with amps where we usually fire engines.
Same ground. Same noise. Same love for raw power.
Have an epic festival! 🚀🔥🎸

Skål, naboer!

Our DIY plasma cutter has been upgraded with (space) lasers, giving us a new superpower: cutting fabrics in-house. ⚡✂️

Here, under the light, Kevlar donated by Heathcoat Fabrics — soon to become part of our spacecraft recovery systems. Faster iterations, more control, 0 cost.
