Welcome aboard the good ship IIS!

Your intro title reminded me of the famous Apollo 11 words, "the Eagle has landed" when Armstrong piloted the Lunar Lander to a safer landing spot and landed with only 30 secs of fuel left. And, I think that 30 secs included the 20 secs of fuel required for the burn needed for the upper stage to blast off from the lower stage to rendezvous with Columbia in orbit around the Moon.

Glad to hear you are having fun in the hobby.

Cheers

Dennis
