This is a short video of a model rocket replica of Space X’s Falcon 9 reusable rocket blasting off, then coming back down and using its thruster to make a soft landing on its feet. It’s like a cat in that regard. Me? I’m also like a cat, but in
Because what better way to get Santa’s attention than to hit him with a Christmas tree rocket as he flies overhead, maker of things Xyla Foxlin and Joe from BPS.Space recently launched an 8-foot Christmas tree model rocket into the wild blue yonder. Things go pretty smoothly until they don’t,
Because the whole world is a lot of ground to cover in one night, this is a video of Santa’s little helper Robert ‘Crazy Rocketman’ Maddox (previously) demonstrating a new rocket-powered sleigh he designed for the jolly gift-bringer. So, if you were wondering why Santa doesn’t come this year, it’s
Because some people have all the fun, this is a video of Youtuber The Backyard Scientist destroying things with a 400MPH rocket powered slicing warhead he constructed from six kitchen knives.

This is a video of Robert “Rocketman” Maddox (who you may recall from his 90MPH jet-powered go-kart or rocket-powered skateboard) taking his latest deathtrap out for a test spin. ‘The Dragon’ (which doesn’t have brakes or a seatbelt yet, but why would that stop a Rocketman?) is powered by a
This is a video of thrill-builder Bob “Rocketman” Maddox (previously: his jet-powered go-kart) taking the ACME Jet Skateboard he built out for a ride. Man, Wile E. Coyote is so jealous right now. “Admittedly, a better idea than I had,” I imagine him thinking to himself while unlacing his roller
