Papa, I'm glad to see there are other people interested in this. I was on a team that made the pyro valves for this mission. It was one of the last programs I worked on before I retired. Looking forward to it's return.

I'm also a fan of your build thread, it is impressive. I refer back to it frequently while I'm building my roadster. Thank you for your thread!!!
