Well, the email advertisement shows the Falcon 9 but once you click on the page the Falcon 9 is not on sale. Annoying…

Somebody was asking about pages 39 through 50 missing from Barrowman's NARAM-8 report. Jim gave his most triumphant stability lecture at vNARCON 2022 and so I asked him about the missing pages. The short story is that the complete report (including those pages) is now posted on the NAR site...
