Ha ha! I read this article
LINK about Mad Mike and his steam rocket. This passage is from the article:
On the morning of the launch, Hughes will heat about 70 gallons of water in a stainless steel tank and then blast off between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. He plans to go about a mile — reaching an altitude of about 1,800 feet — before pulling two parachutes. They’re discouraging fans — safety issues — but it will be televised on his YouTube channel. He said he’s been in contact with the Federal Aviation Administration and the Bureau of Land Management.
If Mad Mike is only using 70 gallons of water for steam to propel his rocket, he's certainly not going to get far. I doubt if he even gets off the ground. lol.
But I doubt it even gets that far. I predict that the FAA will shut him down and prevent the "launch", and then Mad Mike will scream "Conspiracy!"
