Big rocket test fired...

Big rocket test fired ... not far from here, just yesterday.  This test occurred at the Orbital ATK test facility in Promontory, Utah – about 40 miles west of our house.  The rocket being tested is intended for the SRS manned missions, so a great deal of money is being spent on it – all wasted so far as I'm concerned.  I'd much rather see that money spent on robotic missions launched by competitive commercial systems.  Still, it's one hell of a spectacle...
