Amateur Group Wants To Launch Their Own Rocket Into Orbit

Heard of SpaceX or NASA?  Well these students have started their own aerospace group and they have lofty ambitions!

The Portland State Aerospace Society (PSAS), a student project at Portland State University, launched a rocket out in the Oregon desert on July 19th. The rocket soared nearly three miles into the sky—an impressive feat, but that’s just the beginning for PSAS. The group has its sights set much higher.

In the video, you see the ground quickly zoom away as the rocket, dubbed “LV2.3,” shoots into the sky. It’s a stunning sight—and one the group captured unintentionally.

Wow, this is incredible.  Apparently they have a lot of legal issues to deal with but it is a start!

Let’s find out more and check out a launch in the video on page 2
