High Altitude Rocket Project (HARP)

@Samer, we can actually get started without the money because having volunteers conducting the design process is FREE! Once we have some specific design concepts, drawings, and analysis, it should be much easier to get some funding.

Also, I'm not ready to do another fund raising campaign with the NoVA Labs 2.0 Campaign releasing soon. I'd prefer to avoid the overlapping campaigns.

Ok, sure, volunteers. Of course when we do have design concepts, drawings and analysis we obviously have something to put into a campaign. I already have 2 design concepts, one has flown as a test bed and another will be in the air on November 1. I should also have concept #3 and #4 (a plain booster) in flight that day too. Granted, no real analysis other than the seat of the pants variety and no drawings other than the STLs I used to print them (one rocket is actually a hybrid). I have ordered parts to build a F-engine class booster to sit underneath one of the HARP 4's, since I am feeling adventurous.

As for the fund raising campaign, if by the proximity to Nova Labs 2 you mean time spent between the various volunteers, I couldn't agree more. On the other hand, NL2 is local, and HARP should not be. So I disagree there. Nonetheless, I am not involved in the NL 2.0 campaign directly, but by the same token I am nowhere near ready to start a campaign either. I just wanted to plant the seed and prep that as part of our effort from the get-go. This is a system with a lot of moving parts and we should inventory all those parts. A campaign is one of them.
