The best thing about N55 is that is co-opts the military-industrial power complex and appeals to rocket hobbyists. This polyethylene and laughing gas-powered system is made to carry a 2-kilo payload of political pamphlets or superweeds that could be spread over GMO crops. This site offers step-by-step instructions for building the rocket (payloads are optional)
Relatively advanced technology is normally only available to concentrations of power such as governments or corporations, or a few highly specialised individuals. The N55 SPACE PROGRAMME, and the N55 ROCKET SYSTEM, is part of an effort to distribute and give persons in general access to specialised knowledge and technology.
People still use this phrase?
Not a chance in the world that this would work. The type of people who would use a rocket to spread their pamphlets are too dumb to get a rocket to fire, and would soon realize that the rocket body would make a great bong, maaaan...
A certain coyote comes to mind . . .
Yeah - the fascist military-industrial power complex actually has a network of computers on which you can post messages and stuff. Even pictures. Who'da thunk?
5 pound payload? Sounds like an anti-personnel weapon.
See what smoking dope and taking other drugs does to the mind?
Did you look at the link photo of their launcher? Its on the front of a bicycle. It did not say, but I'd bet that the launch controls are on the handlebars,plus how easy do you think it would be pedaling that thing down the road, much the interest a cop or two might take in what the hell you're up to.
