One day. Just go missfire alley, no tracking, and the sky is the limit on the lauch rate. Of course you still might want a day or so for programatic BS, and weather contingency.

Nah, Just serve lots of cold beer in frosted mugs.
And Florida is wet, muggy, and swampy; Seattle is too far away and tends to get rain; The Midwest has too much corn in August. No matter where you go, there you are, and people complain.

Hartsel colorado is truly sweet.
Point. I assumed NAR was fixated on racks. But Trip being in charge gives hope for MA.

Been through there. I don't see that it's any different than Vern's ranch outside Canon City in August. Either is a nice place to fly rockets, but a tad warm at that time of year. And at that altitude, chasing rockets in hot thin air is very draining.

You've been gone too long. NAR hasn't run a RACK NARAM for decades. I know that NARAM-18 was racks. NARAM-20 was Misfire Alley (Stine was there to help out!). I'm not sure about 19 (Doug?) or 21. NARAM-22 was misfire alley, and everything since NARAM-23 has been a satellite system; originally the 1980 WSMC system, then the replacement that NIRA built and is in use today.

Satellite is a form of rack. Central control.
Jerry
Incorrect. Satellite is misfire alley with central control. An important feature at big launches, and especially contests. You still have people setting up spread out, able to use their own pad, and decide when to launch or not launch.

Central control is a different RELIGION than distributed control. Period. The details are not important.
Jerry told you so.
