Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

ML>>> it flys like a rock better than most rocks ;) 

->> With a big enough engine _anything_ will fly. 

WC> Taken the tour at Cape Canaveral twice. The Saturn 5 is
WC> absolutely awesome. 

Size makes an impression. 

I am more often amazed at efficiencies of scale. Not
necessarily micro-sized but pumping the maximum from a minimum
impresses me the most. 

WC> They've got Redstones and Titan's standing up but the
WC> Saturn 5 lies on it's side and it dwarfs all the other
WC> rockets. 

For the billions of dollars spent there _should_ be something
impressive there and not just a "Gone to Lunch" sign. :-(
