I heard about this more than a week ago on George Noory:
This is Steve Eve's 36ft 1600lb 1/10 scale "miniature" Saturn V rocket launch earlier today (April 25, 2009), commemorating the 40th anniversary of the first landing on the moon. The rocket was lofted by eight 13,000ns N-Class motors and a 77,000ns P-Class motor generating around 8000lbs of thrust!Of course, 1/10 scale (!) is so large that the model Saturn V hardly qualifies as a model rocket anymore - it's a full-fledged rocket! An amazing accomplishment!
