Our rocket test site is in good hands this week.
Copenhell brought the thunder — with amps where we usually fire engines.
Same ground. Same noise. Same love for raw power.
Have an epic festival! 🚀🔥🎸

Our DIY plasma cutter has been upgraded with (space) lasers, giving us a new superpower: cutting fabrics in-house. ⚡✂️
Here, under the light, Kevlar donated by Heathcoat Fabrics — soon to become part of our spacecraft recovery systems. Faster iterations, more control, 0 cost.

No nation, no billionaires—just volunteers and a wild belief:
That ordinary people can reach space.
