Rocket Hobbyists Successfully Launch a Portable Toilet Into the Sky

Members of Southwest Michigan’s Michiana Rocketry Club attached rockets to the bottom of a portable toilet at the recent Thrusting the Throne event, launching it into the air above a soybean field, before its parachute successfully deployed and it landed about 2,000 feet away. The Portaloo launch was the culmination of two years worth of planning in an attempt to raise awareness for rocket hobbyists.
