Yup, you might need it in 45 years or so. 😊

As of November 1st, I don’t give advice any more (retired). But, I can say
“yup, that’s pretty much it.” Safety must be maintained at a high level
regardless of the number of rockets and the pace of operations.

I have, for years, advocated a system similar to a NASA launch structure. One
person, not necessarily on the flight line (though in a good position to see
all) watches over everything—you can call him “Flight”.

This, of course, is a large launch scenario (adjust accordingly). Anyone in
the chain can call a “HOLD!!!”

Yes, I’ve been carefully following the discussion. Prior to this discussion
beginning, I’ve already been in touch with people about the issue, and there
are already plans for LDRS to have a team of *on the range* personnel to
oversee and enforce all safety and compliance matters. What exactly to name
the position is a matter for debate, but rest assured that the basic idea is in
work.

I'm sure that the LDRS Safety Coordinator, Greg Lyzenga, will follow up on
this.

Maybe we should rename the roving RSO. Rocket inspector might be more
descriptive.

"Flight Safety Officer" (FSO) is the correct term in Tripoli nomenclature.
