Dude, a TV show just built a rocket and launched it with 2 weeks of design time, and actually got it several thousand feet into the air.



The Soviet Union couldnt do it for over a decade.



Give them some credit.

Impressive.  But the explosion at the end?  Staged or edited into the crash.



Equally impressive is the control at launch.

One of the guys in the bunker was calling out altitude as it was falling. I heard 12,100. I assume feet, not meters.
