Going back to traditional rockets with a crew capsule on top restored a tried and true escape system. I think if a crew had been on the Wallops rocket, the escape system would have kicked in and the crew would only have suffered the indignity of being ungracefully plucked from the ocean. I certainly would rather be on top of the rocket than close by on the ground. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
