Default Danish astronuts almost ready to go.

during launch! Neck brace during launch and spinal surgery if he
survives.


The Daily Mail URL has a sketch that suggests there is "Neck Head
Support." It also shows the pilot/passenger/specimen/spam in a mostly
upright position - there is bend in the knees with "buttocks support."

My question is "how does one launch a finned rocket from a submarine?
I suppose they could fold-out after leaving the tube but still... Or
is the "submarine" just that red-painted rig and it is going to launch
a la Sea Dragon?

It is not a question of half full or empty - the glass has a leak.
The real question is "Can it be patched?"
these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway...
feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH...
