HAHAHA! I like that "aspiring astronauts"! Is that MV Code for "un-genius idiots"? I'm not finding it in my M-*&^%$#@-A3 series DECODER BOOK. I kinda doubt that the event's SAFETY OFFICER fully understood the technical proposal submitted in triplicate before he approved this moving forward...

WOW ! Simply WOW !!!

They just weren't made to sit for ten years without proper "pickling". Sad to hear of such "MV abuse" even among the SS Membership. :grd:

Congratz on passing this heritage along to the younger generation. Is your son a Member here on the SS website? Maybe he'll chime in. Vaya con Dios!

Thank you for reporting your experiences. From this we can all learn a thing or two.
