A group of students at Cambridge University wants to launch a rocket into space. They are inspired by NASA's Artemis II mission, which flew around the moon. The students hope to reach space in the next two years. They have built rockets and plan to launch soon.

Students from the Cambridge University Space Flight Society are inspired by NASA's Artemis II mission, which recently flew around the moon. They aim to be the first in Europe to launch a rocket into space, targeting the Kármán line, 100km above Earth, within two years. The society has built several rockets and plans to launch from Scotland soon.

The Cambridge University Space Flight Society, inspired by NASA's Artemis II mission, aims to become the first European group to launch a rocket into space. The Artemis II flight, which recently splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, has motivated the society, which consists of 100 members, to reach the Kármán line, located 100 kilometers above Earth, within the next two years. Established in 2006, the society has constructed various rockets and engines, including Griffin I, which could achieve an altitude of 150 kilometers if successfully launched. Despite setbacks from the pandemic, the society is making progress with logistics and plans to conduct a launch in Scotland soon.
