Student-built rocket smashes an altitude record while breaking through the atmosphere

Watch *** student built rocket reach dizzying heights and according to its creators break *** world record in the process. The rocket named the Aftershock 2 was designed and built by the student-run USC Rocket Propulsion Lab at the USC Verbi School of Engineering. The group took their creation to *** testing site in Black Rock Desert, Nevada where they let it rip, sending the student-built rocket soaring at Mach 5. 5 speed past the so-called Carmen line, the boundary separating Earth's atmosphere from space. According to the school, the rocket reached *** staggering 470,000 ft of altitude, smashing the previous international amateur record by *** whopping 90,000 ft, which would mean the aftershock 2 soared further into space than any non-governmental and non-commercial group has ever flown before. OK, now watch *** suspected thief take off in *** stolen delivery truck with *** worker still hanging on. Surveillance video shows the suspect approaching the truck at *** warehouse in Oregon.
