He and his mother launched it from Bedford, N.H., to see what it could record. That's NOTHING. HERE is real rocket science:

Some guys decided to arrange a strange competition between dark and light beer: which one will fly higher to space?

Wow, Bedford, NH to Manchester, NH. Quite a flight - depending on where it was launched, it probably flew less than 5 miles.
I'm honestly surprised they launched it, as the Manchester Airport is quite close. Just think if that thing would have been sucked into a jet engine.
