Liftoff!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

Telemetry lost at T +5:05 minutes. The webcast cut off too. Looks like the rocket was lost, but not before doing most of its job (the satellite was a dummy satellite). Before the webcast cut off, there was some swaying back and forth of the 2nd stage engine.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.

Not particularly profitable. However, the profit has been guaranteed, since they have done cost plus contracts.Originally posted by Geronimo
