Off-topic Talk Where overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.

For the old-timers around here, I am heading to sea for another rocket launch....

Interesting, how do you (or do you) handle the sound issue? From the pictures it does not look like a terrestrial launch where they throw water at it to solve the problem...

There is no sound issue i'm guessing, as it's in the middle of the ing pacific ocean. cape canaveral is near humanity, that's why it's a problem there.

Man, I can't imagine how much the platform must shake during launch.

Congratulations. I watched the launch last night on the webcast and it looked pretty cool. The people hosting the show were pretty boring though.

Do you have pics of the command ship? Or is it rather boring?

You sir have one of the coolest jobs of anyone I've talked to. Slow at times, I know the feeling, but throwing crap up into space is too cool. Congrats on the launch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
