Extra awesome bonus point: When they were first testing their rockets, they used their submarine as a tow/tug for their launch platform. Yeah, these guys are crazy awesome.
Since they had the submarine, rocket and it's perfectly legal to launch in international waters, they talked about just putting the rocket in/on the submarine and be done with it.
... until someone pointed out that building a submarine with ballistic missiles and playing with it in Russia's back-yard probably is a very bad idea.
Sounds like the Mad Scientists Club books from when I was a kid.
That's very cool! They really are following the hacker spirit; the enthusiasm they have for their work, the try-and-see discovery of capabilities and the joy they have in sharing what they've done. It's very refreshing.
They built them using very little money, because they didn't have that much forexample to make the g-test for their rocket they borrowed a free fall attraction in a local amusement park.
Copenhagen Suborbitals truly have the hacker spirit.
