    I don't see why they didn't update the apollo with modern equipment.. you know the design works to get to the moon at least- in less time than this pos

    seems the more high tech we go.. the lamer it gets :D nasa doesn't have any say in what gets put into the pipe.. don't kid yourselves- it's a bunch of politicians, and they probably don't even listen to what the scientists have to say.. they want things done cheap

    Looks like it went alright, quite an impressive launch, followed by some nice clear footage from the rocket itself, shame we didn't get any footage of it coming down though.

    Idd, didnt quite catch whether the 'chute's deployed ok for the first stage or whether it was a nice soft landing. Did they mention that? Missed some bits due to a damn conf call in the other ear :(
