Mr. A, thanks so much for your risk analysis breakdown--very helpful indeed. [though I have decided to go into a deep Lotus position for the first 45 minutes of each launch: you get your rushes your way, I gotta do my thing :)] Furthermore, your analysis makes common sense. A techie buddy of mine once mentioned that a computer is under the most strain (and highest risk of doing a bad) at two points--power up and power down. Ditto, consumer electrical appliances and your car engine. Ergo, when you dudes hit the big green launch button on 10 stories worth of liquid oxygen, it kinda figures that if anything is going to bust a gut, that's when it will happen. (Note the quality of this technical analysis). Anyhoo, much appreciated.

p.s. to mmeggs, posts by guys like Mr. A illustrate why we're a tad cocky over here on the old SI thread. I mean these folks know what the hell they're talking about. Don't misunderstand--positively welcome the view from Wall Street; but given a choice, I'll take the view from satellite operations control center any day. Regards, Mike Doyle
