I just watched the webcast of the THOR 5 launch. While the rocket itself performed well, I feel the true gem of the program was Trei Johnson, the lady they had hosting for her first time. She did a great job. :wub:

Okay, now when the m6 forum is down, can we follow the launch here? Or is this thread just to mark launch dates, and the actual launch threads are somewhere else? Sorry for being dumb, this forum still gives me a pause.

By the way, here is the video coverage link for the upcoming launch:

You do know that the launch was yesterday? What you're most likely watching is a replay.

Well! that fooled me, I thought I'd just got lucky. I hope nobody noticed, I'd feel such a :fool:!

Ho hum, back to formula One...
