They overcomplicate it by using rocket engines. They should just released the ground harness and let it fall into space.

Engine start, hold down clamps released, cleared the launch tower (juuust), I give this rocket launch 3.5/10, definite room for improvement.

I drove back from Cairns to Victoria point in one hit once. Ex wife drove all of 90 minutes of it. Only stopped for fuel. I was quite a Zombie by the time we got back. Do not recommend, would not do again.

Yeah last time we named a space-thing Eris, Pluto stopped being a planet. Maybe it’s a bad idea.

OHH OK

it’s hovering
it’s hovering

Sounds like an episode of ED in a cold winter night.
