The second experiment in the Racecourse of Riga |
Have you ever seen a rocket-bicycle? How does that even look like? And would it even work? That sort of thing only happens in books, you might say. But you would be wrong. It’s nothing out of science fiction at all. At least it wasn’t in Latvia in 1928 where this unusual experiment caught the attention on many. However, there was nothing of the polished sheen of space novels, no sleek forms, or carbon fiber. There was not even a helmet in sight. Just two brothers with the right amount of passion and a day job that supplied them with plenty of explosives. This is a story about how two men sparked interest in new technologies. Literally.
