The Tripoli, Nebraska Rocketry Club test-fires its first medium-range ICBM!

I mean, _seriously_. This thing is 30' tall. It needs a launch tower. Which they also built!

No, these aren't photoshopped. It's really quite sad that it blows up on launch, of course.

...because _damn_. Their smaller rocket, they report, went up just fine.

Here's the whole "day of launch" page.
