A different kind of kegger

[N2NH]

It's not naughty and it's not obscene or profane, but it does seem like Rumpus material. It's the world's first two-stage rocket powered by beer kegs.

And so Kegetry is born.


Don’t ask me how any of this works, because I have absolutely no idea. I never liked physics or chemistry, but I love beer, so this story really caught my eye. A group of rocket-building nerds called Team Numb is planning a September launch date for the first two-stage rocket powered by kegs of beer. It will be the first in the world’s history. I’m not shitting you. This is real.
They call this type of launch “kegetry” and unsurpringsly thought of the idea while drinking at a bar.

I guess sending beer into the sky is one way to get it cold.

From an earlier launch that went 7,000 ft up or so (launch at :52)...

I wonder what brand of beer is appropriate for rocket propellant?

When compared to NASA, I think that these beer-guzzling, rocket scientists have actually gotten "a head" in the space race.

Team Numb? Well, Team Rocket never could do anything right.
