Big V2

[@shanekilpatrick3378]

The first man made object to go into space.

[@It-does-not-work]

It was a missile, not a rocket ship.

[@fleafrier1]

And then to London

[@kevinhedspeth4303]

Nice flight but risky to possible aircraft in the area to launch into a low cloud....unfortunately where I launch , pilots seem to ignore the Notams and fly right over the launch area all the time..not worth taking a chance launching into clouds.

[@williamk5998]

IFR pilot checking in. You are right.

[@stevetheduck1425]

I used to print pilot's maps. Places to not fly over, routinely ignored: mushroom farms, Studs, mental hospitals, large country estates.
Ignored for different reasons, but normal behaviour.

[@anonydun82fgoog35]

>pilots seem to ignore the Notams. Pilots should not ignore the Notams. At one point it becomes their responsibility, not ours.

[@skyhigh6]

Airspace above these launch sites are closed to aircraft traffic. It called a NOTAM, NOTICE TO AIRMEN. Its upto the airman to check his NOTAM before flight.

[@fernsnyder7072]

Carried on flying until it got to London.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Most V-2s were fired at Antwerp, oddly enough.

[@spinynorman887]

So...was it ever seen again?

[@A3Kr0n]

Thumbs up for the cluster puck.

[@scottpeters9911]

Ok. I love the purple lightsaber color of this rocket! Too bad overcast sky cut the visibility. Keep posting .., I will keep watching!

Was it ever seen again?

[@TomB0667]

Went u=only about 7000' Not all parachutes opened and it landed hard.

[@felipeball7778]

It hits London

[@willbill2432423]

[@larryblack1944]

Nice launch! How do you evver recover something like this? I used to build model rockets, but a 1000 ft. altitude was tricky to recover. It took a lot of space and eyes to follow it.

[@TomB0667]

This rocket is large enough to easilly see even at 10000'.

[@craigpennington1251]

Where did it come down at?

[@Gk2003m]

London, beware

[@Roarmeister2]

I thought flying into clouds was a big NO-NO?

[@zekehowey]

As long as the airspace is clear and the rocket is angled down range it is ok.

[@metermatch]

You are required to get FAA clearance in the area to a certain altitude. And then have-at-it!

[@Roarmeister2]

@@metermatch NAR HP safety code rule 9: Flight Safety. I will not launch my rocket at targets, into clouds, near airplanes,... No, you can't just HAVE AT IT and insurance doesn't cover flagrant violations of the code either.
I believe the rule of thumb is no more than 50% cloud cover in the space you are launching into.

1:00 Disappeared in less than 10 seconds, while fake rockets like Saturns, Spacex, etc. Take 10+ second just to clear their 100 meter launch towers😊

those bigger rockets accelerate more slowly
