[LUNAR Announce:] Snow Ranch launch 4/3

[david raimondi]

Bill,

You didn't miss any announcement. The launch is on and everyone is too busy
preparing for the launch, or in my case doing HW with my son.

Just to make this a formal announcement, The 4/3 launch at Snow Ranch will
take place from 0900 to 1600. Get your rockets ready!

Dave
