Nerd: I think you missed my point.
Obviously it couldn't happen without the strat. That wasn't the question.
One last time... Tuesdays pr said...The 2A will ascend into the air with the flight computer, navigation and telemetry systems, propulsion system with special low altitude propellers to be used for initial flight tests, avionics suite, automated fly by wire electro servo actuated flight control system, back up power systems, antenna suite for GPS and iridium satellite uplink system and the ground control/monitoring station and tether system.
All I'm asking is... DID IT HAPPEN? DID IT ASCEND INTO THE AIR WITH THE FLIGHT COMPUTER, NAVIGATION AND TELEMETRY SYSTEMS, AND SO ON. There is absolutely no mention of any of this in Thursday's PR. All of this has a whole lot more to do with the Strat than does Hotzone, and surveillance cameras.
btw, I emailed Rob about this very thing, and am hoping to get an answer.
