The goal of Unreasonable Rocket is to show the world that a very small group of dedicated people can do serious rocketry on orders-of-magnitude less money than any traditional aerospace project. Our vehicles are being built in a garage by a father and son team for less than $200K
Crew
Chief Bio:
Paul T Breed grew up in Alaska where his father ran a bush airline.

Team Unreasonable Rocket on the NG-LLC:
"NASA Centennial Challenges is the most important program in NASA since the moon landings. It is the only program with possibility of harnessing the Awesome power of the American entrepreneurial free market to develop cost effective space access and technology." - Paul T. Breed
What is our next big milestone?
Run an engine for 180 second following the NG-LLC thrust profile.
Fire four engines on a complete vehicle.
First flight
Team Unreasonable Rocket would like to thank :
This is a Family team and I'd like to acknowledge my Wife Mariellen for her support
What will we do if we win the prize?
If we win the competition, we will embark on the development of a private launch vehicle for nano-satellites.
Why do we have an advantage over the competition?
We are a very small team, I believe that the best development is done by small teams |
