I've been doing some back-of-the-envelope calculations, but I wanted to see what you folks thought...
What kind of motor combination would you need on a light payload to make it 62 miles into the air? The SRBs on the shuttle are type X (X 10,485,760.00-20,971,520.00 - Space shuttle SRB) but the shuttle also weighs a few tons...
Could a parallel cluster of 5 off the shelf O's each with a serially attached O as the SRB on a second stage O be enough to get anywhere near the big unknown?
