The Throne Thrusters are about to launch a rocket powered outhouse

In a couple of weeks, these guys are launching a rocket-powered outhouse/honey bucket.  They don't provide a lot of details, but I assume it won't make it into near space (12 miles up ish).

Three Oaks, Mich. (AP) — "A group of Michigan rocket enthusiasts is preparing to conduct an experiment involving a modified porta-potty."

"The group, dubbed "The Throne Thrusters," plans to launch the portable restroom thousands of feet into the air near Three Oaks. The group is mainly composed of members of Michiana Rocketry, a local high-power rocketry club that frequently launches rockets, according to Larry Kingman of The Throne Thrusters. The project has been in the works for about two-and-a-half years."

The rocket has been equipped with cameras, parachutes, seven motors and measuring equipment in preparation for a planned launch on Nov. 22 near Three Oaks, Mich.
