Launching rockets is not easy, and it can be dangerous if you don't have the right safety measures.

Take a rocket launch startup called Pythom, which recently attempted to hop its first rocket, called Eiger. Engineers running away from a cloud of potentially poisonous smoke are shown in the video leaving something to be desired.

Employees are standing close to the rocket stage. The video shows an employee standing under the rocket as it is being lifted.

Pythom Space has some work to do on their safety culture, according to Eric Berger.

Never Forget

The video showing the workers running for their lives was edited out by Pythom, but fortunately.

Employees had no idea what would happen, according to the company. It was the first attempt.

It would blow to pieces on the pad. Wait, what if it takes off?

Tight Ship

According to the company's official website, the Eiger rocket is powered by propellants that don't require storage facilities.

90 percent of rocket cost in the traditional space industry is related to personnel, and the company runs small teams and tight facilities to keep costs low.

We're rooting for them, but maybe they should have moved here.

iger jumped around and was airborne, but it was hard to tell for all the dust.

This startup is catching a rocket with a helicopter.
