A Danish company, Copenhagen Suborbitals, announced plans to build yet another rocket which will take passengers to the edge of space at 100km.  Currently they are testing just a rocket motor.  Now, commercial space tourism is GREAT, but did they see what companies like Scaled Composites (Burt Rutan, space ship one, Virgin Galactic, those guys) and even Armadillo Aerospace have already accomplished?

On the other hand, there design is soooo simple.  They say they are going to use epoxy as a propellant and LOX as an oxidizer, but I don't see why you couldn't use NOx. 
Looks like any idiot willing to blow them selves up could build one.

Sounds like a mythbusters episode to me.

Good luck!
