link Awesome. In case you don't understand the commentary, the Troposphere 5 rocket was supposed to reach Mach 3 and and altitude of 36 km. The scientists and engineers in charge built it on top of their laboratory (yes, with the hanging laundry, that's the place) and there was a rat inside. The critter's survival's dubious, although there was no news about it afterwards. At least it's hilarious.
