Danish inventors produce first amateur rocket designed to send humans into space (and one of them is going to test it out himself), Daily Mail

“It might not look much. In fact, it looks practically suicidal. But two Danish inventors hope to launch the world’s first amateur-built rocket for human space travel. The homemade rocket is the brainchild of Danish firm Copenhagen Suborbitals, headed by Kristian von Bengtson and Peter Madsen.”
