    Looks like they have scrubbed until mid-December.

    Let's see if I can get past the 3 picture rule.

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      So right now they're neck to neck with the Shuttle program in terms of planned launch succes rate.

        A scrubbed launch doesn't mean the rocket exploded like that French rocket (or even the odd space shuttle though the shuttle has a much higher success rate then that French pretender). Instead it just means the winds or the weather weren't right so they decided to wait another day.

            Unfortunately, scrubs happen all too often in space launch, especially when a new pad is being used for the first time.

            In this case, it was something stupid. One of the launch crew manually set a liquid oxygen valve to vent rather than closed, so they ran out of helium (liquid oxygen is used to cool the helium and when they ran out of liquid oxygen, the helium boiled off fast). They will need to refresh their liquid oxygen and helium supplies from Hawaii.

              At least they didn't sign a pact with them like your friends of the Peaceloving Workers' Paradise did.

                Winston, stop threadjacking. This is a cool thread without your input.

                  che: Isn't it somewhat hypocritical of you to accuse someone of threadjacking while engaging in the same activity?

                  On-topic: I hope that they can get the problems straightened out. Seems like a cool project.

                      Are you the pot or the kettle in this scenario?

                          Blatant lie, ohho-ho! Read what I said a couple more times, will you.

                          But then you're the expert on blatant lies, so who am I to argue.

                            If y'all are going to threadjack, I request that you do it in a slightly related topic. For instance, perhaps you could riff off of Blackcat's scoffing at my suggestion that this couldn't be done in this manner in any other country than the US.

                              Yeah. Is there still time to launch chegitz guevara on that thing?

                                It will take 3 or 4 years until they have a manned capsule for a larger version of the rocket. Are you willing to wait that long?
