It was a pretty clean event; waiver called in according to the
documentation, no fires outside of the existing rings, Tsolo's new puppy
petted by all.

Having to run the whole launch sequence three times was a bit
tedious. We're threatening to use the PSAS launch controller as a blast
deflector for the next flight. It's in a solid steel box; should protect
the ground nicely.

I'm sure they'll never forget either. Two launches in one year, plus a
whole pile of L2 certified fliers in the club!
