   Raising the rail
   Outrunning the cloud
   Soaring above the clouds

   "The team traveled 35 hours from Toronto to the Black Rock Desert."

   I bet that was an interesting border crossing/inspection!

   Hey Steve, was this guy really that close? He is mental if he was, and that is going to be seriously loud. How is his hearing now?

   Excellent shots! I love the mountains and the clouds in the background too. What is that guy doing so close the to rocket though, isn’t that a safety violation?

    What a perfect capture of a beautiful rocket. You know how "rocket scientist" is slang for a really smart person…

    Due to the late launch time we had to secure another rail w/out a launch controller. So…the only backup was an AeroTech controller with relatively short wires.

    Fortunately I am insane….mostly. The motor was actually mixed by Don Alexander in Pheonix. Totally trustworthy. And yes it was loud!
