No word on whether he uttered a witty quip when blowing the tanks.
Believe it or not, there's a crowdsourced, open source non-profit attempting to build a sea-launched suborbital rocket. Called Copenhagen Suborbitals, it even had access to a submarine. A club associated with the venture completed the sub in 2008, designed by Peter Madsen, a Danish inventor who is co-founder of the group. That submarine is now at the bottom of the sea, and Madsen is being held by Danish authorities on suspicion of "unlawful killing"--a precursor charge to manslaughter or murder.

It gets weirder.
A headless torso found in waters off Denmark has been identified as missing Swedish journalist Kim Wall, Danish police say. . . .
He [Peter Madsen] initially said he had dropped her off safely near Copenhagen, but has since said she died in an accident and that he had "buried" her at sea. . . .
The torso was found on Monday - police said the arms, legs and head had been deliberately cut off.

I hatted this thread yesterday and nobody noticed, it's getting a little sloppy around here.
I'll award myself OddJob's James Bond hat.
