UmmmThe Danish authorities have been happy to let these guys play with their rockets for the time being but if they ever actually get to the point that they are going to put a live person on a rocket and shoot them int space will the Danish authorities let them? Isn't Denmark like every where else where there is a mountain of red tape to go through?
Apparently the nannys have already tried to have them shut down. They quickly approached their local representative, gave him a tour, told him their plans and got some political support.

Thank you, Morten, for the information -- much appreciated. Will be watching (and hoping for the best).
I underestimated this company and their abilities. I'm gladly eating my words. Love the sounding rocket and further work on the manned suborbital capsule and engine design. Hoping for a positive future outlook.
