The Bicycle Rocket Launcher

2 Dec ’05

From the fine land of Denmark, comes the N55 Rocket System, which “enables persons to communicate their protest in a concrete way.” I’d say so. It is part of a larger line offered in their N55 Space Programme, “making space technology accessible and useful in everyday life situations.”

The rocket purports to carry up to two kilos into the not quite high heavens. Their recommended use is to disperse superweeds above fields to potentially sabotage commercial genetically modified (GM) crops.

I would not be surprised if N55 was sending the units to Greenland to disrupt the recently signed Thule Accords. This “Disarmament Treaty” gives the United States the right to damn well do what it pleases while building a missile defense system in Greenland. But then that’s me, looking for conspiracies involving the mighty Danes.

Check out N55’s other useful projects, including micro dwellings and LAND.

I want a set of the microdwellings, not that I’d have any use for them, but they look cool. The rocket, on the other hand is just disturbing.

I have a feeling the rocket is a joke. I mean, “Superweed” seeds?
