Nerd...I have to smile. Several years ago had this same video been released, the stock would have soared. Now the pundits pan it as.."too loud, like a lawnmower...too low...no shipboard video...and easy to shoot down." They don't say, 'It's a bust' now do they?
Of course this was the first viewing of the 4-cell 111 foot STS for the first time, and the video selected was to purposely let shareholders know it exists, was in fact tested successfully, has an engine and can be launched and recovered easily...IMO.
Any other tasks it managed to perform with payloads, was not in this video. Perhaps for a reason. But they clearly spent more time than this testing this puppy for the private audience, on tasks not shown.
I kind of wonder if the engines in fact might be able to be muffled, but regardless at 10-30K feet, how relevant is that issue given the speed of sound?
Hey...I didn't even expect this...so I am pleased.
Yes, I'd love to see more...I expect to do that at the 5-cell premier in Orlando Q-1 in person with L-3 as the facilitator.
Patience
