HEAT-1X is now SCALE!
Hello All,
Pour a glass of Aalborg or Carlsberg (some of my Jutlander cousins still transport the latter) and drink a toast--today the Danes took a significant step toward suborbital tourist spaceflight! Copenhagen Suborbitals' HEAT-1X test vehicle was launched from a floating platform in the Baltic Sea today on a brief, low-altitude, but successful test flight (see: http://www.space.com/11875-homemade...uborbitals.html and www.copenhagensuborbitals.com ). With this flight, the HEAT-1X is now also a "present" Scale and Sport Scale subject (no longer F/F [Future/Fiction] Scale). |
