Thre is this man, Brian Walker, a.k.a. Rocket Guy, who is building a homemade rocket to launch himself into space. Seriously, although he means well, I honerstly think that something will go wrong and that he will die somehow in his homemade rocket. Either his rocket will break up, and then he will lose consciousness and crash to the earth, or he will be blown to bits somehow....

god speed....

here's his website: [url:14073]http://www.rocketguy.com[/url:14073]

or maybe instead of falling back to earth, he somehow keeps going into space, where he has no oxygen to breathe, then dies.....

in the words of Col. Jack O'Neill (USAF) "this plan sucks"

That guy needs to pray like crazy to survive this, or maybe pray for some wisdom so that he will get the sense not to do this. This guy is nuts. hake:

Uhh lets leave this discussion in the right thread.

I emalied the dude and got a response today, I told him I would be praying for Him, and that he was a brave man. He told me thanks for the paryers and that he would see how brave he is when it comes launch time.

I saw him on Daily Planet. Isn't he from Vancouver?

cashwarsplaya · 06-17-2003, 08:05 PM

after reading his plan, he cant possibly continue into space. The thing either blows up as ignition lights, goes up and then comes down... hard or works. Theres no way he can continue with the fuel he plans on using and the amount that he will have. I dont know if it would generate enough force to truly leave the earth's atmosphere. He also has a parachute, imagine jumping from 50 miles up, that would be one long freefall. Actually, didnt some guy do that in the 60's, first man outside of the atmosphere or something, rode up in a balloon and jumped? I saw footage of it on the discovery channel i think.

there must be some type of law against this, as government employees are allowed into space. a law must be enacted so people don't try such crazy ideas and get themselves killed
