   Spaceport America Cup ... launches on ho

   The Experimental Sounding Rocket Association's intercollegiate rocket   
   event is taking a break due to rain.  This event is held near   
   Tombstone, NM and adjacent to White Sands Missile Range, an area where   
   rain is an everyday event.   
      
   Spaceport America is probably best known for Virgin Galactic flights,   
   and just a few days ago VG flew the last flight of VSS Unity, as they   
   prepare the next gen birds.   
      
   And right now, we have the next generation of rocketeers trying to   
   launch high speed amateur rockets.  Some of these are as large as 6 ft   
   or 2m.  NSF is streaming some of the launches today, but right now   
   there is a weather hold.   
      
   NSF streamed a tour of the "great hall" event, where the teams had   
   their rockets on display, and available to be interviewed.  Something   
   like 176 teams were there.

   Have you heard some of the shit that comes out of my mouth?
