Sugar Shot To Space - Rick Maschek

Sugar Shot To Space - Rick Maschek  

Rick showed a picture of a rocket embedded in the top of the roof of a car.

The primary goal of Sugar Shot to Space program is to loft a rocket powered by "sugar propellant."

Everyone in the project is a volunteer, from around the world.  Rick showed some pictures of the various rockets built over time.

Rick showed us this video:


They have tried various pressures when building their fuel.

They think they can get something to orbit if they use five stages.
