   The smoke is a great way to clear your sinus… of their own lining.

   That is a lot of fire. How high do those things go?

   So do the motors differ at all from the cruise missle launchers? Or are they literally the same motor?

   Best civilian use for military tech in a while! 🙂

   Victor: Ah, the acid rince… =)

   Oddwick: I’m guessing 10K-15K feet for this one. See the previous photo in the XPRS set (right) for a a REAL HIGH attempt.

   Benjiman: not entirely sure… My ears perked up when I heard it from the designer. The sense I got was that they are the same to help lower costs.

   I just posted some rocket video. You can hear one here, with an engine probably 1/4 the size of this one.

   At the end, the announcer says:
   “Remember, mortgage before motors.”
