@daily.network.new: In August 2026, the Waterloo Rocketry team, made up of students from the University of Waterloo in Canada, achieved something extraordinary: their Polaris rocket reached an altitude of 63,497 feet, approximately 19.35 kilometers above the ground, setting a new world record for the highest-flying amateur liquid-fueled rocket ever launched. The launch took place during the Launch Canada Challenge in Timmins, Ontario. Polaris reached a speed of around 3,108 km/h (Mach 2.7) and completed what was considered a nominal flight, while also being successfully recovered after launch - an important achievement for the team. The rocket is approximately 5.2 meters long and weighs around 136 kilograms when fully fueled. Its engine uses liquid propellants and produces around 16 kN of thrust. But the record didn't happen overnight. In 2025, the same team launched Aurora, which reached approximately 38,000 feet. Instead of giving up after the challenges they encountered during that mission, the students used that experience to improve the design and return even better prepared. The result was Polaris: more powerful, more durable, and equipped with an improved recovery system. According to the university, around 100 students from different fields participated in the team, showing how academic knowledge, engineering, and teamwork can transform a university project into a world record. And to think that all of this was developed by students. The sky was literally the limit - and they just raised it a little higher. 🚀🌎

Why not use a normal camera lens, why always the fish eye lens? Even before lift all the surroundings are already round. If they are not hiding something, then use a normal lens.
