Yes, please forget about making sure that everything is working properly on the rocket and just launch and see what happens so that we can see if it works or not.

naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
