Hey Monroe, sea-sickness depends on the size of the boat and the size of my lunch...

OK, so does this mean you're aiming for the orbital attempt in August?

I'd love to be out there on the boat with you this week, but I'd better save my bus-fare for the real thing...

Best wishes and best of luck for the upcoming tests.

Yay!
Paul

28 ft lol not all that big so no lunch for you! lol Nope not an Orbital Shot but a Space Shot in August. FAA's not going to let us do an Orbital Shot in the US. In fact no team can from the US. Time has run out on getting Clearance for an Orbital shot from here. If we make an Orbital Attempt I will have to transfer the team to another person in another country. Let you know.

Wow - no orbital clearances for any US team??? That's a big big problem. Is that definite? Is it a "no, never" or a "no, until you have completed X pages of paperwork"? When did this come up?
