Rocket launch

I wait some 40 days to see the French rocket lift off.(I can't remember it's name!)

I did every thing I could to make sure I could see it, I had the ipad set up I was on the live fee 15 minutes before the launch was due. I sat there watching to see that all the status lights were green all the way down to 1 minute, then what happens?

yes you guessed it, the feed to the ipad dies..

You can imagine the language that I used....
So I did not see the live launch I was not very happy
Why did it fail?

There is nothing on the official site to explain that there feed to the internet died, but at least in the end I did see a recording of it it, it's not the same thing but at least i got to see the rocket fly.

Only 47 days to the next launch, 15th Feb 2011...

Projects

Some work has been done on starting up the Citrus Project, I have got as far as starting to redo the website.

Dirk Maggs book, this is still stuck in edit hell with no further progress at this time, although a journalist did as for a draft copy of it even though I told him that it was a draft and that it was stuck in edit hell. So far I have had no feedback on what he thinks of it yet. It is also becoming very clear to me that I am going to have to revise the book even before I have completed it, as Dirk is not standing still and is still producing very good work(must remember not to say that bit to him!!)

So as always it comes down to time, time is very precious and is always in short supply and to make thing worse as you get older it speeds up and passes you by must faster.
