Amazing rocket launch!

I guess this falls under the category of "I've seen a lot of neat stuff but nothing as neat as this."

Amazing Rocket Launch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD_yQZ4iNjY)

I had to watch this several times. Fascinating.

:coffee:

[John Allen]

OK, that was pretty cool

[Beagle333]

Well, whether it's real or not.... that is a cool video! :popcorn:

[alrighty]

Very cool , thanks for the video.

[jcwit]

Neat, Thanks for sharing!

[Multigunner]

That was very nicely done.
I was just thinking I would have put a parachute on that wheel to avoid anyone being hit when it came down and then the parachute opened. They had this thing well thought out and well put together.

I've fired off the small versions of these at 4th of July but had not expected to see one built on this scale.

If you like this, go watch some of the LDRS videos.

There was a longer version posted somewhere that I watched some time ago. Not all of them worked properly. I can also say that seemed to be large amounts of alcohol involved in these launches.

That was so cool...loved the spiral smoke trail...lol...

[kweidner]

Thats a bunch of powder lol. my smoke pol would have had lifetime supply! that was neat

[WILCO]

That is amazing. Never heard of this particular brand of craziness before.

[Echo]

Way cool!

[leftiye]

This festival was incorporated in a movie that I saw.

[Pb2au]

Very cool!
I am sure that started with:
"Hey, I have got an idea for this years festival,,,,,,,,,"

[Hickok]

That was really cool! I wasn't expecting that.

[ShooterAZ]

That was amazing, and no doubt that it is real. Looks like a lot of fun too.

[R3104D3R]

3rd world space program? If I were an astronaut in that thing, I'd be pretty dizzy by the time we got anywhere!

[fouronesix]

No doubt real and looks like a celebratory thing done for special occasions. Two things amazing to me about it. 1) Obviously solid rocket motors of some fashion that have extremely long burn time while having adequate thrust to keep it going. 2) Basic stability and vertical ascent. Like a giant flying pinwheel but with an easier said than done design.

[Dframe]

Awesome launch. That looks like an incredible lot of fun.

[DCM]

Neat.

[gray wolf]

I couldn't understand the language but right before they lit it off
It sounded like he said
"" Hey ! Hold my beer and watch this.""

[Handloader109]

Festival is right. There is a much longer utube out there about 15 min or so. Bunch of launches and some really interesting fails..fails were entertaining

[MtGun44]

Pretty spectacular failures - looks like a great idea to be pretty far away from those
beasties when th fuses are lit. Does look a lot like fun, and I think gray wolf understands
a bit of Thai language. . . . . :bigsmyl2:

Well, you know Sam did spend a bit of time over in SE Asia in his youthful years and I'm sure there was a lot of "Here, hold my beer and watch THIS" going on between the locals and us. :)

:coffee:

[fatnhappy]

I knew it was going to be good when I saw everyone running like hell after lighting it.

[GaryN]

That was pretty good. I've never seen anything like that.

[white eagle]

either way you slice it that was pretty impressive

[trapper9260]

That was pretty good. I've never seen anything like that.

Me too and took alot of doing to have it work the way it did ,like some stated that there was some that did not work out.At first i was thinking what the thing going to blow up and then to see it take off and then thought it would of free fall and the chute open the way it did.Thank you.
