Rocket built from scratch makes it to space



I hadn't realised this had happened last September until today, but it brought tears to my eyes... The first privately built spacecraft, built from scratch, now nestling into an earth orbit within 9 minutes of launch. It's finally a reality. Finally, this kind of thing is happening. Cheaper payloads into space in the next couple of years thanks to this. Very very cool, very very inspiring. The next wave is upon us!! See the video below for more...
