Insane "underwater" startup.

Either this is nothing special or I just hang around a weird crowd. I know a some guys that made three submarines, and they go to 1500 feet. The biggest one is the largest amateur submarine in the world. See pictures here: http://www.submarines.dk/

They are currently working on commercial spaceflight: The goal is to make a rocket that will get one person suborbital but weightless and back down. They expect to do it within a couple of years. They just had their first public motor test, you can see a clip here: http://ekstrabladet.dk/nationentv/klip/?clipid=17454&cli... . (links are in Danish)

And they're just a couple of guys with no money to speak off, but they are crazy and they believe they can do it.

So do I.

I'm pretty sure you just hang around a weird crowd...

pages through Facebook to see if anyone's status is building submarine or hobby rocket

Yeah, just a weird crowd :-)

Looking forward to a trip on top of their rocket though :-)

I would love to be introduced to your crowd, maybe I would not stand out so much if I hung out with people like that.

Envy. I've always wanted to build my own as well. Have you gone in the submarine?
