I am a contestant in N-Prize competition

[draqon]

I am a registered contestant in the N-Prize Competition.
The Competition was started by UK professor and the purpose of the competition is to design a spacecraft that can travel to an altitude minimum of 100km and orbit Earth 9 times or more, in addition to that the whole project must be within 2000 pound sterling budget.
I already have some parts of the project purchased and will starts purchasing the later parts during winter. The rocket I am designing will be liquid fueled and based on rockoon concept, where the rocket will ignite from the balloon that has ascended x number of feet. The propulsion I will be using is hydrogen peroxide.

Cool... Good luck

You have to pay for all the materials yourself?

It's in the rules....didn't you read it? lol

Imaginative use of string and chewing gum is encouraged. Entrants are responsible for everything, organisers are responsible for nothing.

Wouldn't Orbit Gum be a better choice?

as funny as that sounds the extreme thinness of a condom nowdays means it can inflate to large volumes, so having nitrogen gas in it and using it as balloon is a good idea to try. hehehe

Last time I welded was back in middle school, when I made some candle holders.
I can sew good though...
