fuel: http://www.alt-accel.com/arla/arla-lt1.htm

a "k bottle" apears to be the biggest you can get at 5000psi. Several in delayed burns would and 3 stages would get it at least above the atmosphere. i'm aiming for zero-g, but that's 18,000mph. That's a lot of "k-bottles".

i'm thinking about it, and it needs either a very long length and wings (drag), or a gyroscope

Done.

I know you are thinking of using gun powder for propulsion, and that is fine, I do not look down on that approach....
but have you considered a diet coke/mentos propulsion system?
It may be much more cost effective.

Have you calculated how much diet coke and mentos it would take to reach 18,000 miles per hour?
Are we going for orbit?

for real, it's 2008. we can send ron paul to the moon with enough money and mentos.

Gah, you page-breaking bastard. Damn you and your artificially-sweetened rocket.

 

[ClockwiseSpark]

Funniest thread I've seen in a long time!

Let's do it, then we can sit back and laugh at these nitwits.

 

[revolutionary8]

Done.

lmao.
I am going to 'pirate' this.

I say do whatever launches your rocket.

 

[brandon]

bump.

nice schematic

 

[FindLiberty]

very nice PlzPeopleWakeUp!

I usually (always) take an alternate path towards a solution:

Let's take over an unused FCC NTSC RF TV channel after the HDTV cutover
(say channel 4 VHF) and use it to radiate a 24x7 Ron Paul message to the
entire planet and beyond.

We could poke a 1/4 wave length coat hanger into the RF output connector
on millions of old unused VCRs that continuously play RP's message of freedom...

 

[idiom]

It will be unused for about 10 minutes.

Lets just broadcast on a used one

I'm smelling a Diet Coke, and mentos sponsorship!

The Diet Coke class rockets or the D.C.'s of space.
Power measure in D.C.'s

Diet Coke cans would make for a cheap fuselage.
Light weight aluminum.
