Good Luck.
Ky Michaelson has never cared to be involved in amateur rocketry.
He tends to communicate better face to face, then over phone or electronically.
That way you can see if his making a joke, or being serious. Attended several
of his early 'production' launches and assisted with ground crew when first
started reaching for space in Black Rock desert. He is a nice guy, but a true
promoter of crazy stuff. Many folks describe him as the PT Barnium of
Rocketry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._T._Barnum ;

So tighten your safety harness before you contact him, He is splashed all over
internet, and has been in many TV shows.

Hi
I turned on the TV and went to the Science Channel. Found a show called
"Homemade Astronauts". Has a guy named Ky Michaelson, previously a stunt
man, The late Mike Hughes, and a guy named Waldo Stakes. There are other
people.
They tried to build a manned rocket to fly to 50 miles. Ky had his logo
"Rocketman Enterprises" in almost every scene.
The shows on are Season 1 Episodes 1 - 4 . Search on the web and there
are places to see them for free.
Mike Hughes died on his rocket's 2nd flight when the parachute ripped off
at liftoff. The fatal flight was Feb 20, 2020. Rest in peace Mike.
Has anyone else seen these Shows or know anyone connected with this
operation or TV production?
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. Be Safe.
