He developed his first large rocket at Høng and launched it on 3 March 1986. While attending primary and secondary school in Høng, Madsen developed an interest in rocket fuel with the help of chemistry and physics teacher Johannes Fischer. After a couple of years, Madsen returned to his father, with whom he shared an interest in rockets. Annie left when Peter was six, taking the children with her. Carl was allegedly abusive toward his three stepsons. Annie was more than 30 years younger than Carl and had three other boys from two previous men.

The text continued, exhorting the board members to "not throw more blood into that boat". There will not be peace of Nautilus for as long as I exist. However, on the Monday evening, two members of the association's board said they received a text from Mr Madsen saying: "You may think that a curse is lying on Nautilus. On Sunday 29 February 2015, Mr Madsen released a statement saying: "I have no plans or wishes to have any relationships with the submarine Nautilus in the future." "Peter Madsen's announcements have changed course - sometimes up to several times daily," the post said. In March 2015, a post on the submarine association's website said they had been in ownership conflicts over the last two months and: "The lack of confidence in long-term cooperation with Peter Madsen has unfortunately been confirmed." In 2014 Mr Madsen founded the UC3 Nautilus submarine association to manage ownership, however in 2015 his relationship with the board of the association broke down. In January 2011, Nautilus was taken on shore for upgrades and an overhaul expected to last several months but was not launched again until April 2017, after a fund-raising campaign on Indiegogo and an acrimonious period of ownership.

Local newspaper Berlingske, which attended the launch, said Madsen looked "like a boy just before the birthday gift was unpacked".
