Robert,

Change is always tough, but ROC has been growing and growing. The range set up 
had to change to make certain that private property rights would be respected 
and the BLM would be happy. The board really worked hard to get all of that 
done with the new permits as fast as they did. THANK YOU!

If we can come up with some good ideas on streamlining the launch procedure, 
refine it and use it consistently it shouldn't be crappy, it should be a 
noticeable improvement. After a few months with the new range set up and a 
faster system of getting rockets launched, it will seem like old hat.
