Adrian, you are right on the money about MRO. The link you sent had this very famous photo http://tinyurl.com/2ueg5r

How’d the cleaning party go? I’m very sorry I missed it! it will be good to see so many of you in two weeks at OF.

Got my rocket ready for BALLS today. This is one of the few rockets I’ve ever built that I’m much more worried more about the “up” part than the “down” part. Hoping for 5 miles AGL.

John, since I showed up two hours late, I’m hardly one to speak. But everything went just fine at the cleaning party. Ed cooked up a great lunch, and things (not so much from me) got cleaned up very nicely. And, yeah, you were talked about, and all good stuff. We all look forward to seeing you in two weeks as well.

That is one fine bird! I hope someone will be taking pictures at BALLS, so we can see another one of your accomplishments. 😉

There are 5 NCR guys that I am aware of going to BALLS — Eric, Kyle, Dale, Larry B., and myself. Everyone is flying at least an L, all the way up to a beefy N. It should be quite cool! I’ll try to post Sunday night, depending on when I get back.

I’m looking forward to OF as much or more —

I have to say, for the money, it is hard to beat the achievements of MER. What they have achieved is nothing short of amazing, especially considering the original program goals.

A friend of mine works for Ball areospace. I was lucky enough to go visit Ball aerospace and a few satellites. I went there about November of last year and last Wensday they flew a satellite on a Delta 2 rocket. this satellite was in the last stages of building when i saw it. All the programs that he is working on will boost our knowledge of earth and other planets. So to me man space flight is a waste as is the space station. We need more satellites looking for answers then joy rides to the unique place outside of this world.
