Forget the well-funded independent commercial American space operators like Space-X,Scaled Composites or XCOR. My new personal geek heroes are a small group of two dozen amateurs working out of an abandoned shipyard on a small island off the coast of Denmark. Funded by PayPal donations and the sale of T-shirts, Copenhagen Suborbitals are building a rocket as large as the V2 that bombed London during World War II. Oh, and in his spare time the founder built a frickin’ submarine.
