Interns working at United Launch Alliance have built and launched two suborbital rockets from a site in Colorado, according to a space.com story. Billed as the "largest sport rocket launched in the world," the Future Heavy was 50 feet (15.24 m) in length and was designed to reach an apogee of 10,000 feet (3 km); the Genesis rocket measured 10 feet (3 m). Several payloads were lofted, including "a kindergarten experiment in solar physics."
