Hey, I guess you have to start somewhere! It may not have been a blockbuster space program liftoff, but I understand the sheep were quite impressed. :eyepop:

Even so, I applaud the only 50 or so people to show up for the launch. And I applaud the rocket people for doing exactly what they set out to do! :thumbsup:
