   Kairos' Maiden Flight, Space One's launch from Kii Spaceport,   
   (Northern) Japan, only lasted a few seconds.  The video stream showed   
   the clouds of smoke from the debris fire casting ominous shadows on the   
   pad {ominous is my contribution).   
      
   This rocket used 3 solid stages with a liquid-fueled kickstage.  Solids   
   avoid the difficulty of building an orbital-class turbopump, but space   
   is still hard.

   " Very much so, and I'd recommend the haggis wontons."
