My new company had a their first successful launch today!  We got some stuff in orbit, baby!!


I start Monday, but I've been working with these guys for better than a year, so I've been invested in their success for quite a while.  I'm sorry that I didn't get the webcast posted, I was working all day.  Good news is that the vehicle cleared atmosphere and they are now in the process of recovering the first stage.  The data will be collected and analyzed and the next launch will be set.  The next payload will be a military TacSat and a private payload of remains, including the remains of James "Scotty" Doohan.  That's right, we're gonna give Scotty a proper burial at space, baby!


Hope your day goes as well as mine has!  View Image
