Takeoff of the Day: Amateur Rocket Scientists Blast Porta-potty Into Sky

Impressed that we landed on a comet and sent a ship into deep space?

Well that's nothing compared to this toilet rocket.

Members of the Michiana Rocketry club successfully shot a porta-potty into the sky this past weekend in the name of science at a soybean field in Michigan.

About 30 people were involved in the "Thrusting the Throne" launch, which was planned over the past 2 years.

The group conducted numerous test runs with scaled down models before the actual launch with mixed success.
