At what point does it stop being a model and is just a rocket?

[styckx]

From what I read 2 inches. If it was 2 inches bigger he would've needed a special license w/ government approval.

Nerds.

[Rube]

Cool.

[Mullenax]

Cool.

I know, right? If I had a legitimate reason to have Warning:Rocket Launch signs made I might never stop giggling. Neat-o.


What happened to that lame rocketry competition show on the science channel where they had to attach rockets to everyday structures? That show should have been much more interesting than it was.

I thought this was going to be a thread about another Taepo Dong 2 launch from North Korea somewhere into the Sea of Japan.
