about 8000 feet from the stand with good visibility of the motor, the
exhaust and the plume. Very impressive 2 minutes. Tests are usually

Hmm, "Dear, I want to go to Utah... why? well you see this very loud
event... what, not until pigs fly?" :-)

Would be nice, but not this time around.

Are there any coyotes or roadrunners in the area? The rocket has the
following signs painted on it: 'ACME ROCKET COMPANY". "PLACE ON GROUND,
LIGHT FUSE, MOVE AWAY QUICKLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELIGHT DUDS."

Actually... Having lived and worked just south of San Jose, CA, I gotta
say... Utah chicks put California chicks to shame. Sure there's that
whole weird theology thing going on here, but the Utah woman actually
look like they're almost entirely organic *and* they can speak English.

Coyotes? Yes. Road Runners? No. Chuckers and pheasants in some
astonishing abundance... I nearly run into pheasants on my drive to/from
work *every* *day*. Damn birds is *dumb.*

And they apparently process the image of a car bearing down on 'em at 65
