Remarkable resemblance to the Galactic Empire

Scrubbed due to weather.

Next attempt Saturday.

I calculated the F-9 is a little larger than a modular cutter. I wish they would give volume rather than weight for payload and fuel loads. That command capsule is definitely compact bridge. About 410 km trip each way plus lingering time so very little fuel. Tl 7 or 8?

[Condottiere]

Eight would be fusion.

[Reynard]

And the start of flying cars as well as maneuver station keeping systems. So we're actually TL 7.

[Condottiere]

Air/raft can make Low Earth Orbit on it's own.

[Reynard]

And has 1/4 ton luggage space. Great for a day trip to the ISS.

Not to brag, but if Saturday’s launch is a go, I’ll be watching from a boat a few miles from the launch pad. Very excited!

Maybe, already been mention of a possible weather postponment.

Dude. So jealous. I’m in New Orleans, when Thursday’s launch got scrubbed I started seriously thinking about a little road trip to photograph the next launch attempt...

Whether I road trip or not, I hope Saturday is a go. And I hope your team has a camera of some sort along...

Hope you had a good view.

Thanks. A little bit of a bummer. We scrapped the boat plan, because we would have had to drive the boat through thunderstorms to get to the viewing area. So we watched the launch from the dock about twenty miles away.

Close enough to hear it, though. It was already out of sight before the sound reached us, and the rumbling lasted about another minute.

That's too bad.

Hope the mission will be successful and the next one will be a bit longer.
