    Thanks, that’s awesome!

    Perhaps an into post for the community might be a good start

    Good idea, I’ve just made a intro/welcome post now.

    I believe I was promised a rocket launch tonight!

    That particular launch has slipped to early next week to allow for additional launch preparations. I’ll post a launch thread in the next couple of days.
