Qu8k - High Altitude Rocket On-board Video
View from attached cameras give viewpoints from a launched home-made rocket capable of MACH 2 speeds into the air, travelling 22 miles in 90 seconds.
On September 30, 2011 at 11:08am, Derek Deville’s Qu8k (pronounced “Quake”) launched from the Black Rock Desert in Nevada to an altitude of 121,000’ before returning safely to earth.
