That’s Gas: Engineering has peaked with this rocket powered flying toilet

Who dares to boldly go where no man has gone before?

Who dares to boldly go where no man has gone before?

It takes a real whiz to be able to make a splash in the constantly evolving world of engineering but we hope that these pioneers are flushed with success after successfully launching this rocket powered toilet.

These rocket enthusiasts might seem potty at first glance but they managed to launch the port-a-loo into the air before it made an arc and almost landed on a spectator’s pickup truck, 2,000 feet away.

The members of Michiana Rocketry club have been carefully planning and logging the construction details of the project with a team of 30 people carrying the load of working on the rocket.

Take a look.
