As o...Really sorry to hear about the tank failure! As others are suggesting: Take a day off, enjoy some time with your spouse/family, then re-focus and concentrate on tying or beating Masten! <br /> <br />We can all post encouraging words and it will only go so far in comforting you, I'm sure... But you _have_ produced some remarkable things, and this contest isn't necessarily the end-all be-all, right? I mean, its possible that some of your work can be sold or licensed, right? So you haven't come out of the experience with _nothing_ to show... Fly the L1, get what you can, and then look back at your hardware, software, and processes and see what you can market, license, or sell! Who knows, maybe one of the winners or another alt.space group would be interested in your products - at least to help with their learning curve or as backups or as secondary propulsion units or attitude-control items... <br /> <br />Lots of possibilities, once you look beyond the contest itself. Sure, none of them are a guarantee; but you knew that about the contest itself, too! <br /> <br />I look forward to reading about your successful L1 flights - regardless of the accuracy reading I'm sure they will be a rewarding achievement for you. How many people can claim they've done what you've done - especially with your staff and budget? Pride won't pay the mortgage, but your achievements are something you can appreciate on a personal level and its something that a lot of folks in the aerospace/rocketry field can respect a helluva lot!<br /> <br />Take care,<br /> <br />--NoelUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858392554396067931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-16095008994708479382009-10-28T09:02:27.659-07:002009-10-28T09:02:27.659-07:00Only those who try will ever succeed.
