    Look Out, Felix!

    Olav Zipser is working on using a rocket to boost himself to a higher altitude than Felix Baumgartner and would take the free-fall record:

    The rocket is powered by nitric acid and turpentine.

    This hopefully is leading to a rescue system for astronauts that would allow them to safely return to Earth without a conventional reentry vehicle.
