Students to launch an amazing self-built rocket.

Students Joshua and Saad Mirza hold the space rocket they designed and built

Commonly referred to as the Karman line, that imaginary border is 62 miles (100km) away and on Friday a group of students from across the US and Canada are hoping to send an unmanned rocket through it.
It's the brainchild of 19-year-old rocket-obsessed North Carolina University student Joshua Farahzad, who said he came up with the idea during his "boring" summer vacation last year.
"I was always fascinated with space, I built a small rocket in high school after watching a movie called October Sky, and thought to myself how one day I'd like to build a bigger one," he said.
After his freshman year at Duke University, Joshua decided to revive his idea to build the rocket he had dreamed of but there was one problem. He knew he couldn't do it alone.
"I thought to myself there must be people who know more about this stuff than me. If only I can get some people to commit to the project."
Joshua decided to send email requests to rocket clubs at universities and colleges across the US and Canada explaining his vision and asking for help.
