I don't. They have a lot of variation in them. Fine-tip bottle, Gorilla-brand wood glue.Ouch....

Seriously!?I don't. They have a lot of variation in them. Fine-tip bottle, Gorilla-brand wood glue.
Japan's first commercial space launch yesterday:
Surprised they weren't prepared to spray water around the surrounding area to prevent fire spread. Yeah I know, once APCP starts burning, it's almost impossible to stop. Although with a nuclear Minuteman missile, I've read when the inertial guidance determines the motor fired long enough to get to target, it vents the motor casing to the vacuum of space and that extinguishes the motor.It’s Gemini all over again…
I could be wrong, but I kinda remember Gemini being mostly successful. There may have been a few touchy moments in orbit or re-entry, but I can't recall there being many launch issues. In fact, IIRC, it was the point in time when the US started winning the space race over the USSR.It’s Gemini all over again…
The Titan missile had some problems during early development but it was initially intended to launch nuclear missiles to Russia. By the time it was co-apted for Gemini, the bugs had been worked out.I could be wrong, but I kinda remember Gemini being mostly successful.

Maybe you were thinking of the early Vangaurd launches?

Indeed, IIRC it was the TV-3 failure that inspired the famous "Kuputnik" headline.Yeah, the early Vanguard program had bugs too as they were trying to rush it since Russia got Sputnik launched.
