Big rocket test fired ... not far from here, just yesterday. This test occurred at the Orbital ATK test facility in Promontory, Utah – about 40 miles west of our house. The rocket being tested is intended for the SRS manned missions, so a great deal of money is being spent on it – all wasted so far as I'm concerned. I'd much rather see that money spent on robotic missions launched by competitive commercial systems. Still, it's one hell of a spectacle...
