A prototype rocket from the US thats powered by biofuel passed its first major test flight on Sunday.   The rocket, called Stardust 1.0, was developed by a firm called BluShift Aerospace, which is based in Brunswick in Maine.   The 20-foot (six metre) prototype rocket reached an altitude of just over 4,000 feet (1,219 metres) during its maiden run, which was designed to test the rockets propulsion and control systems. Video footage shows Stardust 1.0 blasting off from the former Loring Air ...

Liftoff has been rescheduled for 11 a.m. from the runway on what was once the Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, in northern Maine.

The countdown was underway Friday for the launch of the world's first commercial rocket powered by biofuel, set to take off from Loring Commerce Centre in Limestone. 

The blueShitf's launch could even revolutionize the space travel's future, running on biofuel. See for yourself here.

BluShift Aerospace has created a prototype rocket engine to power the first commercial launch of a rocket powered by bio-derived fuel anywhere in the world.

bluShift Aerospace’s successful test Tuesday afternoon of its hybrid rocket engine puts the Brunswick company in position to launch its first rocket prototype, likely later this month. Called a “static fire test” because the engine is secured so it can’t move, the test occurred within a concrete blast wall in a field at Brunswick Landing, where bluShift is headquartered. A blast of combustion lasted for a few seconds, followed by smoke and then an afterburn. The test was livestreamed. ...
