just which booster IS it being offered as showing DART's launch?
This is only a week after they posted a Sea Launch photo as an

Well, a rocket is a rocket is a rocket.....

Zenit2, (non-sealaunch ?)

My first thought was Dnepr or one of the other recycled ICBMs, but the

So, do the owners of itar-tass have a share in zenit :P ?
