# Personal Rocket Rides The Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-10-24 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-rocket-ride-one-person-trip-into-space-coming-soon References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/micro_spacecraf.php) & [copenhagensuborbitals](http://www.copenhagensuborbitals.com/) I have a few nominations to test out this [single-person rocket into space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-solo). A company is designing a teeny rocket that will fire the rider into the wild blue yonder and (hopefully) back again. Copenhagen Suborbitals made a [stand-up rocket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-walkers) with a see-through nose cone called HEAT, or Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter, and it can send a human into space at forces around 3g. **Implications** - The rocket was made by a Danish aerospace startup to test out the company's [new rocket engines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/GE-Aerospace). The featured video shows HEAT in action as it blasts a powerful flame of fire. People can be heard cheering in the background when the fire condenses. You would certainly have the fastest ride on the block with that thing attached to it! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personal Rocket Travel:** The development of single-person rockets for commercial space travel presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in transportation industries. - **Hybrid Rocket Technology:** The use of hybrid rocket engines in small spacecraft presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in aerospace industries. - **Stand-up Rocket Design:** The development of stand-up rockets with see-through nose cones presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in rocket design industries. ### Where This Applies - **Commercial Space Travel:** The development of single-person rockets presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the commercial space travel industry. - **Aerospace:** The use of hybrid rocket engines in small spacecraft presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the aerospace industry. - **Rocket Design:** The development of stand-up rockets with see-through nose cones presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the rocket design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hypersonic Launch Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/launch-vehicle.md) - [Space Tourism Travels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-spacecraft.md) - [Ultra-Fast One-Person Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airspeeder-mk4.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Hypersonic Airplanes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-magnetar.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Exclusive Luxurious Spaceflight Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-space-perspective.md) - [Space Tourism Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-perspective-1.md) - [Accessible Space Travel Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-elevator-concept.md) - [Post-Colonization Mars Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacex-fusion-concept.md)
