mythbusters at it again

And then what? Did they light it?

~ Duane Phillips.

Yeah, indoors.

Quite spectacular...

It was on last Wednesday.

tah

Twice, one test firing, done indoors(big mistake). The second firing was the launch itself, which was successful.

and I say, I say again sometimes them boys and girls are as sharp as the leading edge of a bowling ball.

So what myth were they trying to prove or bust with this one?

=EF=A3=BF

From das website:

"Episode 40: Confederate Rocket The American Civil War was fought with bayonets, muskets and cannons. But was that all? Not according to the MythBusters. So Adam, Jamie and the build team join forces to find out if the Confederate Army had a secret deadly weapon ? the world's first long-range missile, which according to rumor, was launched from Richmond, Va., and aimed at the White House over 100 miles away. premiere: Oct. 26, 2005"

Oh yeah? 0xDEADBEEF

tah

Trying to re-create a civil war era myth about a confederate, liquid fueled 100+ mile range missile.

The myth was busted.

Ok, I watched and was entertained but never ever thought any such rocket could have existed 150 years ago. Not even McGiver could have improvised it. This one doesn't even qualify as a myth.

I knew that rocket would not go much of anywhere, but I was wondering why they were testing a 120 mile myth probably a lot less than 120 miles from a major metro area.

Of course, I'm sure they also knew it wouldn't go anywhere close to 120 miles too.

That was just good TV!
