So far, only the Soviet Union/Russia, the United States, and China have launched humans into space. By simply looking at an Earth globe, those three huge nations might seem logical candidates to accomplish such a feat. The fourth to do it might be a shock, however. That nation might be little Denmark.
A group of volunteers has built a rocket and capsule that will carry one person on a suborbital flight. Called the "Copenhagen Suborbitals," the group plans a test flight this weekend. Several such test flights will be flown before a person rides the Tycho Brahe capsule, named for the famed Danish astronomer. The capsule is designed to descend under parachutes and splash down in the Baltic.
