Werhner Von Braun would not be impressed.

...had warned ahead of the test that the initial launch could end prematurely. "Our first test flight met all our expectations, achieving a great success,"

Not much spin, in Norway. Tough place to take up rocketry.

Might want to stick to Viking boats.

“Our first test flight met all our expectations, achieving a great success,”

They expected it to crash a few seconds after launch? What would have constituted failure?

The Chinese have a rover on Mars and on the moon as we speak.
Germany flies a rocket for just 30 seconds right here on earth and they think they’ve done something great.
This may have been something in 1960 not in 2025.

That was Version 1 of the rocket. Just wait until the Germans launch V2.

[DAC21]

Oopsy!

German SpaceX competition?

A long way to catch up... a decade or two?

Last night the wife and I went out and watched the I.S.S. Fly by.
An hour later we went out to watch a launch from the Cape carrying
4 folks going around the poles.
Hey Europe ha ha.
