#1 Brought to you by American Small Business. Now I hope to see the private Canadian, Texan, English, Romanian, Russian, and Argentine groups get their crafts into the air in the next few weeks.

#2 The system also touts a somewhat cleaner way to reach space. Its byproducts â water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen..

Uh oh. Watch out, CARB will probably have to decide whether the vehicle should undergo a Smog Check before each flight... ;)

LOL. Check out the ads. "Low prices on rockets." "Hmmm, got any Saturn V's in the back Charley?" "Dunno, Lemme check...Nope, but I can strap a couple of Redstones together, will that do her?"

#5 Ads? I've got "Everything Cincinnati", "Dancin' James Brown Doll", an ad for the audio version of "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot", and one simply titled "News".

#9 Blame the BATF, you see when they started to play with the High power rocket people somebody started to play around with hybrid motors. You see when they said APCP was a regulated explosive the race was on to find something unregulated. Hybrid motors will burn about anything that burns. My personal favorite was when some folks in CA used a salami as fuel.

#10 Damn straight Bruce!

I need motors!
If you won't sell them to me
I will build the damn things and
you won't like that!

Ima no call FAA anymore unless BATF makes nice.

#11 If you want rocket stuff see http://www.aeroconsystems.com
You can get a computer program to design your own hybrid motors.
