An orbital launcher that'll fit on the back of a tractor trailer. Good
to see that! Something I've nattered on about in the past - the
operational advantages are large, especially if you can actually do
road-trip launches with a few trucks from mostly-unprepared sites. (I
suppose if you told me whether that's in the plan you'd have to kill me?)
Are you actually able to use that former Navy jet-engine test building
for rocket engine tests? I would guess your main engine thrust is in a
similar range to what that was set up for, low tens of thousands lbf.
And looking at that soot fan on the pavement, kerosene fuel? (Outdoor
engine tests instead/also?)
And looking at the google maps overhead of the old flightline, it looks
like there's more nightlife just there than in all of Mojave...
Anyway, congrats on (once again) being involved in something seriously cool!
