It will be interesting to see what happens at launch this time round. Fingers and Toes crossed that they launch without accident.

No kidding. It's fun to imagine the cadence once they have that and the TPS nailed down. Then the launch pads become the bottleneck. They could be putting those up like weeds in 5 years.

As for me, I blame that darn airplane fuselage shoot'n habit on that gosh dang backwoods banjo music. Sustained exposure to that hellish sound made by the devil's ukulele fer sure can make a grown fully bearded mountain man go bonkers in a New York minute...

Yes, indeed you do. One of the formative (and indelible) experiences in my early Western European immigrant experience was on a business trip to Huntsville's Boeing campus around the turn of the Millennia, when following a day of meetings and discussions our California delegation was treated to a memorable, truly delicious formal dinner downtown at a vintage restaurant replete with waiters in grey coats in a building dating back to (un)civil war times, after which one of our local colleagues graciously took us on an inner city tour of various historic landmarks. Eventually we ended up in the town square, with an over ten stories tall monolithic high rise representing City Hall at its center. At night, only the two top levels were illuminated, which our host told us were where the city jail was located. He further elaborated that for families with children at pretty much any age it was not advisable to frequent the location on Sunday afternoons, because by "tradition" (what a *truly* horrific word!) spouses and/or various other female more or less romantic interests of predominantly male inmates would spontaneously congregate to display their mammary glands for the viewing pleasure of the nose bleed section. And to think that some people consider California as being depraved...
