[roc-chat] Re: Launch Site

Wow Wedge, we didn't think of that;; there's going to be a couple open
seats on the Board in November and perhaps you should run?  :-)

really will have to check the range.

Again, the Board's going to consider any changes for the launches next
week.  So, specifics will be coming.
