Alex, the gamer in the above video, has spinal muscular atrophy. He lacks the muscular precision necessary to manipulate standard controllers. Thankfully, Special Effect is here to help. This charitable organization in the UK helps disabled gamers play. It set up a rig that lets Alex control the game by twitching his eyebrows. Watch him play Minecraft expertly by just jiggering the levers placed over his eyebrows.

Loved the parachutes - they were just the colour I remember from all those years ago. Except I must have seen it in black and white. Odd how the memory plays tricks.
I know that where I live, you need permission for even far smaller rockets. This mastodont would never get permission to even be built up, let alone that it also would be launched...
Cool that it landed upright like that. Must have had a really heavy bottom.
That's some expensive hobby, I bet.
I guess they were going for aethetics, not pure performance.
