Hmm, I think I'll hold my breath.RD over on YORF just announced the BT will do a chat session on Monday, over on YORF.
This is a good thing.
However, none of our vendors here have ever put a "limit" on either when or how they could be addressed, or have ever limited the amount of questions they would answer. For me, and this forum, this goes a long-long ways and shows the commitment they have towards us as hobbyists.
Yeah, that's a good point and I'm glad you called everyone's attention to it.In all fairness, Barry Tunick originally asked to participate in a standard forum discussion. It was Scott and Ken who suggested the pre-selected questions format because they realized having Tunick participate in an open forum for a short period of time was unworkable.

If you want Barry Tunick to continue to engage the hobby folks
Kevin, keep in mind that Barry has Estes up for sell, and is planning on retirement - how much engagement, from Barry, can be anticipated under those factors?
Barry ended up answering ALL questions people posted, even though he originally asked for only 50.However, none of our vendors here have ever put a "limit" on either when or how they could be addressed, or have ever limited the amount of questions they would answer.

Well, to be fair about being fair....it was a number of OTHER YORF contributors who stressed how impractical it was going to be to use the original format. We did not think Barry realized how likely it was to become a train wreck, not by "bad" questions, but that when he asked for "next question", there would likely have been a dozen or more people posting their "one question" in the same minute. And of course everyone would have had to be refreshing their browsers at least once a minute to see if Barry had posted a reply and asked for the "next question" yet.In all fairness, Barry Tunick originally asked to participate in a standard forum discussion.

Just Jerry said:It appears I was discussed by Barry in a sarcastic manner.
Barry said:The rocket communities including the organizations have a different attitude towards governmental agencies than we do here at the company. The rocket people think it is great when they sue agencies and win or dont follow the lawsit is common in this country-and I do it myself in my personal life to give short shrift to the governmentover the years I have heard many things about what rocketeers should or should not do vs a vs certain regulations. There is an attitude that the government is wrong whenever they try to interfere in rocketry in any way shape or form.
Yeah, that's a good point and I'm glad you called everyone's attention to it.
