Ares-1 solid rocket motor testing video 22 Million HP or 3.6 million pounds of thrust Just amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGaL8EFYDds Video of the rocket being built: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaU201HEzx4
That needs some V-tech and it'll be at like 67 kajillion hp brah. On a real note, thanks for the vid. LOL at the dust cloud, I can imagine some moron who didn't know they were doing the test was running around screaming that an atomic bomb went off.
haha, I dont think anyone lives anywhere close to that testing place and people who do are prob use to the dust clouds. But it still would be funny! I was amazed at the temps they were talking about how steal would boil at that temp, and the sand was turned into glass around the end of the nozzle. Side note, if v-tech kicked in that sucker would fly off the stand!
That's a wicked video. It's a shame that NASA isn't getting all the support they need, all the money is too busy getting pumped everywhere else in the world
Thats awesome. Wish I had 1000. Doesnt seem like much hehehe Any of you guys ever seen a movie called- The Darwin Awards?? David Arquette's character buys a jet pod (The military uses them on the C-130 as a take off assist rocket). He cuts the trunk out of this old caprice classic. He gets on the hwy way. The car starts falling apart. He has to veer to his right to avoid a car. Then he just launches. Its pretty funny. This thing was designed for cargo planes that weighed over 200,000lbs. The Myth Busters are some Army surplus junkies in the movie.
