Visiting...With Huell Howser

Roton Rocket (11x2)

Uitzenddatum: Jan 27, 2003

The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in California as Huell visits the Roton Rocket, an unsuccessful yet imaginative attempt by a private company to create the first single stage to orbit space vehicle. Theoretically, it could deliver cargo and people to space at a dramatically reduced cost as compared to today’s vehicles with its unique design allowing the rocket to take off and land vertically by using helicopter-type blades, or rotors.
