This is awesome, and nothing in this comment is meant to take away from that awesome, only to contextualize it.
Getting above the Karman Line (100km above sea level) and getting into orbit are dramatically different problems. In case the name "Copenhagen Suborbitals" didn't make it clear, they're shooting for the former.
As another piece of context, compare the size of the rocket used by Scaled Composites (to win the X-Prize) with the size of rocket used by SpaceX. What's the difference? One can orbit, and the other cannot.
