If your rocket went 295,000 feet in the air, I don’t think you can call that amateur anymore.
-
Dude this is AWESOME! You crushed it in so many ways. Mixing your own propellant, machining your own parts, going through numerous tests to prove out your design, AND editing all of this together! You are a truly talented engineer, and an inspiration for all of us.
-
This is the best version of these none NASA rockets I've ever seen. Congratulations!
-
If the Earth was a basketball this rocket lifted up less than TWO millimiters, mindblowing.
-
I was an aerospace engineer for IBM and Lockheed Martin for 30 years (retired). I congratulate you, the knowledge, skill, and research to accomplish this is amazing feat, Robert Goddard would be proud.

I never in my wildest dreams thought an amateur could design, build, and deploy a rocket that could climb to fifty-six miles above the earth, travel at Mach 2.24 with first stage and attain Mach 4'.18 with the second stage, those figures are unbelievable, in fact out of this world. To think you recovered both stages intact is a massive bonus. Kudos to you dude and I hoe you are employed in the space program somewhere because space exploration needs geniuses much like yourself. Thanks for sharing.

I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. Truly an engineering masterpiece. Congratulations!

When I was a young boy in the 1960s I discovered Dr. Robert Goddard. After reading his biography he immediately became my hero. Now, nearly 60 years later, he is still my hero. You guys bring that all back to life. Every time I saw your launching tower go up I flashed back to the thrill of discovering Dr. Goddard and of the NASA space program. Congratulations on a successful flight and thanks for keeping the dream alive!

I love being in this era, where anyone can have their own record label, radio show and video channel. It's even cooler to see somebody develop their own space program! What an exciting time to be alive. Thank you for sharing!

Wow... That ice wall is looking mighty impressive from that altitude
-
Holy****! This is nowhere near amateur rocketry. That friggin thing is HUGE!! This is definitely the best that It gets just under the government space program. This is so badass, great job man... Respect 🫡

What now flat earthers!!’

Unreal, great work Kip!
-
Man the sound of the launching speeding towards the sky, chills
-
you are the kind of people that we need in this world. A GENIUS . absolutely insane . well done , breathtaking
-
That is absolutely incredible. Congratulations!! Seeing the pictures from space was amazing! Looking forward to seeing your next launch!!!
-
Really sucks that amazing people can make these things happen and yet there will still be people out there calling it fake. Amazing job guys
-
Fantastic work. Thank you for not using music during the launch and Earth views. The silence is...something else. A serene calm as we behold our home planet. Brilliant stuff, have my sub!
-
This was truly amazing! I got involved in model rocketry 55 years ago, but this is mind blowing! And, much more expensive. Awesome achievement.
-
Unreal Kip! Being able to see some of the beautiful hardware from this vehicle has been amazing, everything on it is top notch. Well done!
