With NASA now contracting shuttle service to outside vendors, I have been building my own rocket for consideration. The first test flight is scheduled for next Sunday. All are invited, please bring sunglasses and a paid up life insurance policy.

Thanks. It’s a rocket built for 2. A romantic cruise, if you will.

My thoughts tend to lean in that direction. I am both romantic, and a fool.

A superb effort, I must say. I’m toasting your launch from Scotland.
LikeLike
Aye, toasting with toast?
LikeLike
Aye. Will be there. Looking forward to the launching (or is it hurling) into space. I hope to see you aboard my space station (which I will post tomorrow). I’ve reserved a special space dock for your ship. π
LikeLike
Aye. Projectile hurling.

It usually takes 30 days for an insurance policy to take effect….just so you know π

I will put off the launch if you tell me you are coming π

I love it! Looks almost exactly like a Saturn V (almost!). I just wondering if you have a rubber-band large enough to reach escape velocity….. π

Do you think two big rubber bands will work?
You ok with that flooding down there?

It should work! It works in Angry Birds, right? And I’m pretty sure that 100% reality based. π
I’m not in Texas, dear, in Mississippi for the summer. All’s well here, beautiful weather.

Oh yes, you be in Mississippi (great fun to type that word)
Be well, be safe, laugh like there is no tomorrow.

Thanks Mike, and I love typing Mississippi!

Ha, ha! That does look like some kind of old, strange rocket. Did you start from scratch or find a crashed UFO to renovate?
LikeLike
All spare parts accumulated over a lifetime of searching for junk. Unfortunately, when I did come across a UFO 25 years ago, I sold much of it, keeping only the skeletal remains of what would have been a small, large eyed, skinny chap. Many people think I am a bit odd, although I can’t imagine why.
LikeLike
You are not odd, but you might need that rocket when “they” come back. I have heard they wait exactly 26 years to claim the remains of lost compatriots!
