I thought this rocket is supposed to be reliable and cheap...how much these scrubs cost?

QUOTE (Toma B @ Dec 20 2005, 07:15 AM) Well in fairness it sounds like the scrub was caused by bad weather and the result of obeying their own launch criteria. The fuel tank failure was not a problem with the rocket it seems but with the equipment for unloading the fuel. The reliability and cheapness claims are still their to be...well...claimed, I think. Rotten luck though. Bothersome Vacuums.... -------------------- Turn the middle side topwise....TOPWISE!!
