Post by: Ragwing on December 08, 2014, 07:32:06 PM

A group of rocket enthusiasts launched a porta-potty into the sky Saturday in southwestern Michigan.

The reentry capsule made an arc and almost landed on a spectator’s pickup truck, 2,000 feet away.

It is rumored that the Pilot of the reentry capsule Chuck reported that the capsule was well equipped.
