Thanks, Steve. I'm glad you liked it.

So has anyone ever done any testing with a DC20 or DC30 next to the raven with ematches attached? I'm thinking about making an AV bay with both devices next to eachother but wanted to check and see i...

More brainstorming: Have you calculated the differential pressure that your nosecone shear pins would have to withstand? Was the nosecone shoulder seated firmly against the airframe, to prevent your...

Wow, 6 L3s! Not bad for a weekend. Congrats everyone.

Launching at Atlas in June would be new for me. Either there's a mistake in the calendar or there's something unusual about the North site availability this year.

Did you get data? I wouldn't have thought it possible for a nosecone to fail before a tube or coupler, but I guess anything is possible. Maybe we could see what altitude it was at, and look for wind...

Oil is all in a global market. Whatever extra we pump means that Saudi Arabia pumps less. If it were up to me, I would halt all American oil exploration and wait for 20 or 30 years for the price of ...

A couple more thoughts on this. We may want to invite Bob (the landowner to the N) over to see the launch, and have a cold beer at the ready in case he's interested --not that we would drink while th...

The land north of the ORV area is most definitely private land and I can't count the number of times some of us have wandered about on that land. We've been VERY fortunate that the owner hasn't caught...

Looks like the volunteer schedule on the site is still the one from last year. I'll take a shift or two of LCO/RSO/pad manager any time Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, as needed. Especial...

Looking at the map ( east is actually relatively clear. To the north is the property people kept hitting last year. Indeed. The property to the North is outside of the Pawnee National Grasslands boun...

Quest makes some dandy ematches, though they call them Q2G2 ignitors.
