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.

But I got the money issue figured out.

 

Shorty, every day I think of a way to engineer this thing...I am so excited.

 

I see that they encourage the use of chewing gum. May I suggest Stride it's the gum
that lasts. LOL

 

huh? who encourages?

 

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?

 

heh? :bugeye: chewing gum is encouraged? riiiiiiight...

 

just because its name is "Orbit" does not mean it has anything to do with space

 

HAHA!! :thumbsup:

Draqon it was right in the rules of the site you posted. I suggest you take another look.

I suggest you try to use condoms and tampons.....LOL

 

you're right...

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

but I skip jokes part...

 

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

 

Maybe we should be partners, I am pretty creative ya know.
