Copenhagen Suborbitals Launch HEAT-1X

The one-manned Danish rocket named HEAT-1X blasted virtually upwards at 14:30 GMT, from a floating launch pad in the Baltic Sea. Though the rocket was not even intended to go all the way into space, this is a huge mile stone for the company which aims on sending people into space on the cheap. There will be more test launches to come before anyone goes skywards in it, and this first test was unmanned, reports Spaceosaur, WLTX, The Daily Mail, and The Copenhagen Post .
