Watch the video, totally hilarious..

The Aust Govt gave them $5 Million recently so I am sure that was well spent on fact finding trips overseas, consultants fees (uncle Jack), and a good p*ss up after the successful launch 😁

 

Next time they will reach 100 metres in the air - another $5 Million please mate 😆

 

Bowen is a nice town (or used to be) with access to the Whitsundays without the crowds. Wonder  where the rocket launch is located.

Not enough thrust. It's the classic yarn every Aussie man tells about his life

Why would you name a rocket after the Greek goddess of strife & discord?  Very peculiar.  Maybe, she was not pleased.

For a country that doesn't even make a car, and can't even build a decent block of units these days, it's no surprise.
