You're gonna give Armadillo a run for their money by the look of things! and I second that question, that was an amazing tilt to start the translation! _________________ "The rockets are burning, the dreamers are at full swing/ And you know in your heart that the farsighted see better things." ~ "Farsighted" by Five Iron Frenzy

According to IIIan, that was exactly what he told it to do. Surprised the rest of us, because we hadn't had time to have him run the trajectory for us in Flightgear. But it was well within abort limits, and he had it under control apparently. As I've told others, it's kind of like the Delta-IV takeoff fireball. There were reasonable engineering reasons to do it the way he did it, and it was perfectly safe, it just scared the crap out of everyone who didn't know it was supposed to do that... ~Jon

Not that I want to see it try. I was startled too!
