Today's Saturn V launch

Steve Eves has embarked on one of the most impressive model rocket projects that anyone has ever seen. He has built - and as of today, launched - a 1/10th scale model of the Saturn V moon rocket. Although, realistically, when the device is 36 feet tall, can you really still call it a "model rocket"? At that point, isn't it just a "rocket"? You can see read the story or a video overview of the project preparations and Saturn V construction.

Today's launch looks like it was a complete success, and very very cool to see. The best video of the launch so far has been posted on YouTube. For all the model rocketeers out there, the bar has just been raised - considerably.
