For you Star Wars fans....from the rocketry world!

Link.

That thing is SICK!!

I'd like to get a full scale one that flys.

They put a seat in it, you could request a ride. I personally would never get into any rocket powered vehicle that I've built, built the motors for, or ride in any amateur built rocket....I'd take a ride on the shuttle in a second...

You may feel differently.

Good point....Hadn't thought about the fact that it's amateur...Still, I still want a REALLY big one....With PEW PEW laser beams!

Still want to ride in it?

That looked pretty cool for the first few seconds!

That was rather remarkable there for a few seconds. My little 5-year-old heart started beating pretty hard for just a second. To the best of my knowledge, ILM never did any rocket propulsion as practical effects. The aftermath shows why, but the takeoff was amazing.

While cool to see, that's a LOT of work for just a few seconds. But well done.

It seems to be that way for most of the really large projects out there. They fly once and never fly again. It seems to me that about 50% have this type of flight where something goes very, very wrong...

Still, an impressive build, and an impressive attempt at flight.

They found NEW footage, another camera angle that shows more clearly what happened.

Damn Empire!!
