Arocket has been kind of quiet lately so I thought I'd ask the question:
the latest version of the Antares rocket will be doing a 30-second static
firing test at Wallops in preparation for its next launch.

Seems like a long burn duration--presumably they've done the analysis to
show that the pad can handle that. Any thoughts?
