Great post, thanks. This is going to be fun to follow.

Eep! That's almost upon us. Leep watching the skies, monkeys!

That would be "keep watching the skies." *Reminds self to quit eating banana while typing*

A (small?) minority of folks have suggested that this might not work. Dr. Freedman's rebuttal.

How did an excellent post like this get so few response posts? Is this not historic? I'll be checking and rechecking those links for quite some time. Thanks Raoul. Just over 7 hours till launch.

Dammit. Current news is that a booster failed, and Cosmos 1 is lost.

Eek! A dud...

Yup, seems so.
