Anyone remember if a post has been made on the RAK-2 rocket car on FP or Oppo? I am considering making one of my first long form posts in a while on this and couldn't find any in search. Just dont want to spend the time if I am going to get a "Simpsons did it" :)

Now like 8 people are going to post some variance of "Simpsons did it"

I don't remember a post about it, so if there's been one I'd say it's so old that a new one would be a good thing.

I remember discovering this thing in a book about age seven and immediately thinking it was the coolest thing of all time.

I was watching a documentary last night on Wernher von Braun and there was a blip on this and it reminded me of seeing something about it as well when I was a kid. 30 rockets!

My rockets-related research at an early age was more Goddard focused, but included von Braun.

There was this article about Max Valier who had his hands on that Opel but I don't remember anything else about it being posted.

Fritz put rockets on a motorcycle too!

And fuck Opel for giving up on motorcycles.
