It's great to see people hacking away at space travel. Not everything needs to be done on a NASA scale. The hard part will be the rocket engine, access to rocket fuel and launch facilities where you can launch without risking homes and lives. Denmark is in a poor location for launches: too far north, surrounded by populated countries, and their likely launch direction would go over Russia. You need a heat shield if you're planning on orbiting, it's not needed to go straight up and parachute down. Wish them the best of luck!


They always launch from the Baltic sea, and test the engines in and around Copenhagen.
