<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>With my year-end compiling of the launch stats along with
adding yesterday’s from the ranch, I saw how close we are to our next big
milestone. Last year I estimated that we would hit this last month, but a
couple of cancelled launches pushed it back.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What I’m talking about is crossing the 2 million
Newton-second total impulse level. As of yesterday’s launch, we are
less than 20,000 Ns shy of that total. The actual total is 1,980,988.
Since the average Ames launch is only around 2,000 Ns, it’s not going to
happen there. But the average SR launch is between 30,000 and 40,000 Ns,
so around halfway through next month’s launch we’ll cross over (so
to speak). Maybe we should make some sort of announcement before the
first HP rack goes up saying that one of the rockets will be the one.<o:p></o:p></p>
