And would you launch it from underneath a balloon...?

Very cool, although now that I have gotten a better look at it, I can see that it doesn't look all that much like the Intrepid. It would be a pretty ambitious project to fly a scale model of that F-23 rocket using motors just in the ramjet tubes. (An interesting challenge, though...) I don't want to stray any further off this thread's topic, but I think that Semroc might even have all the parts needed for a least a stand-off scale version of it. (Hmmm...  ) (EDIT: Upon further review, now it looks to me like the central pod does house a motor.)
