19 From what I read it appears to be the same guy doing both. Maybe, just
20 maybe, some lessons were learned and it will be a lot better. I'm

22 works. If my hardware doesn't work, then I need to be able to edit that
23 without a rocket science degree. I like watching things shoot into
24 space but I don't want to design or build the darn thing. lol
