Saw this on TheChive, I always wanted to be an astronaut as a kid, I guess building your own rocket is a close second.
I wonder if you need to get permission from someone to send a rocket into space? I mean you can't just go down to your town hall and ask for an outer space permit, but maybe you have to ask NASA or the airforce? Either way its not a request that probably gets made often
