Mr. Bedouin, You're right when you say "failure is not an option." But, - you lost that Gentleman's bet about it "rumbling at first."

The second gas touched the combustion chamber it started-up and commenced "purring like a kitten."

I'm quite pleased.

I did take the "Quicktime" movie of that first start, but it's 11 megabits. Since I only have a low speed modem here at home, it won't be up for another hour.

Anyway, "victory is mine" (too bad there's snow on the ground)!

"Speedmaster" is a title not a name, - and the title is not plural.
