Bottle Rockets Away!

I knew I liked Canada:

B.C. Inventor Wants to Put Pop Bottle Rocket Into Orbit

No time to follow the link? Here's the intro paragraph for your entertainment:

"CHILLIWACK, B.C. - Mr. Widget wants to go to space.

Ken Schellenberg, who has adopted the alter-ego on his company website, wants to put a simple but highly engineered bottle rocket into orbit."

Science is wonderful. And so are Canadians.

You'd think it would be a beer bottle rocket, wouldn't you now, eh?

This is basically awesome.

You know, with the miniaturization of parts these days, he might even be able to put up his own Sputnik.
