When something is possible and not too difficult to achieve, We are used to say “This is not rocket science” but today's podcast is literally about rocket science -

and, in a way maybe the most difficult approach to sending people into orbit we can think of.

Copenhagen Suborbitals is the world’s first and only amateur spaceflight program. The Copenhagen Suborbitals is located in Denmark with supporters from across the world. From 2011 until today they have designed and flown 6 rockets from their floating launch site in the Baltic Sea.

Their goal is simple but audacious: to fly an amateur astronaut to space and return him/her safely to Earth – Without Governmental Support

Todays Science Stories guest is Jørgen Skyt from Copenhagen Suborbitals. I am Jens Degett and this is Science Stories,

We will make links and more photos on our website.

The podcast is part of our project Danish Space Research III supported by Otto Mønsteds Foundation and Thomas B. Thriges Foundation.
