Can a pop bottle rocket get into orbit?
A inventor wants to launch a simple but highly engineered pop bottle rocket into orbit.
Boffin Ken Schellenberg from Canada says it might be possible to get a two-litre pop bottle up the required hight.
He has already propelled a Kevlar-reinforced, single-stage missile pressurized with compressed nitrogen 379 metres skyward.

Ken, a 49-year-old father of five, runs AntiGravity Research a company which sells "state-of-the-art-technology" pop-bottle rockets and holds the record for altitude record for his 379m flight.
He says he would love to see one of his rockets in orbit and says he is optimistic about getting one there.
