NASA One (flight control): "It looks good at NASA One."
B-52 Pilot: "Roger. BCS Arm switch is on."
NASA One: "Okay, Victor."
B-52 Pilot: "Lining Rocket Arm switch is on."
B-52 Pilot: "Here comes the throttle. Circuit breakers in."
Steve Austin (voice of Lee Majors): "We have separation."

I wonder if the problems are related to problems in their #aircraft business.
Here's #hoping for #DreamChaser.
I hope some #LiftingBody #spacecraft manages to fly.
Maybe the #ESA and #JAXA need to get together if they want anything done.

You'd still be *much* better off reading my own blog post on lifting-body spacecraft, though. 😉
