NASA Backyard Rockets Widescreen (2011-05-29)

Some rocket history via two very different space programs, now presented in High Quality Widescreen and a extra hidden feature space shuttle launch from my personal collection. Between 1986 to 1996 great advances in backyard rockets were achieved by two school friends. Witness the rockets advance in power as the years roll on, culminating in the K1 and K2 rockets. Definately a video for any backyard rocket scientist. Werner Von Braun and the work done with the terror weapon the V2 is directly linked to todays modern rockets, the Saturn 5 launch vehicle was his ultimate achievemnt in rocket science. But as you will see much smaller rocket programs have also existed, this video outlines one of them. All images used in the video are from the NASA public domain archives or my personal photographs.
