Search for the Facepunch Census Thread 2010 and it'll show.
I'm too lazy to dig up the SA version of it, and you'd also need an account to view it anyways.

Leave it to the internet to find people batshit crazy enough to take that thing for a suborbital ride.

Guys, lets build a fucking spaceship.
I once tried to start facepunch interest in creating rockets, and that kind of stuff of any kind, mainly starting out with water bottle-rockets. The thread seems gone, maybe it's in the archive's somewhere, but this picture remains.

A remake of that picture and were good to go...
[QUOTE=SkinkYEA;24322721]Guys, lets build a fucking spaceship.[/QUOTE]
Only if it looks like a Nyx.
alright guys, all we need to do is this
we take a couple hundred thousand of these (all of you pitch in; we'll have them in no time)
[img]http://www.fdin.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/SchLemonade_500ml.jpg[/img]
then we hire out of public swimming pool for a day or so and fill it with fresh water
then we electrolyse it with a couple hundred of these
[img]http://autolimorepair.com/images/Car%20Batteries%20Long%20Island.jpg[/img]
we collect the hydrogen and oxygen produced into the bottles and then seal them, and tape them all together
now on top of this we build a cockpit out of cardboard, duct tape and papier mache. it will have to survive a lot of stress so make it like, an inch thick or something. be sure to seal all leaks with this

now fill the inside with soft stuff like pillows so that the spacepuncher in it can sleep if space turns out to be boring
this also has the benefit of stopping all of his bones from shattering when the rocket takes off
now for the return journey we need a parachute. tape lots of bedsheets together into a parachute shape then nail the edges onto the cockpit
the rocket should look like this

then hold a match under the bottles. the hydrogen and oxygen will burn and the rocket will go up into the stratosphere

I say we do something in between.

[QUOTE=OvB;24315669]Challenger deep was reached in the 60's. (the deepest known point on earth) Only two people have ever gone down there. I think it would be pretty sweet to go down there and consider it one of my life aspirations.[/QUOTE]
It would be p. boring. Life is ultrasparse past a few thousand feet, only living around geothermic vents.
I suggest we are the first community to the moon. We need a good acronym to go with spacepunch.

We've hardly started exploring the ocean. We have no idea what's really going on. On nearly every deep sea dive new species are discovered. Placing habitation modules for humans on the ocean floor would greatly expand our knowledge of the ocean. It's like saying it's pointless to have a space station because space is nothing but a vacuum.

I said space exploration, not 4chan remaking.
Fucking recreation not meaning to remake.
Fucking English language. Always with the ruining of my ideas of good wordings.

Thank god I wiki'd it just to be sure.

No No No No No No No No
Good luck but I honestly don't see how an All Volunteer HobbyLobby garage Hobby ran by Internet Forum goers is going to put anyone in LEO
I hope that thing has a parachute, someone should post in their sticky in case they forgot because I don't see one
Keep /b/ from getting into space.
/co/ can go through though.

Oh wait, it's an up-yours to us.

But seriously, SA is now even more epic than before.
